Brain Parenchymal Signal Abnormalities Associated With Developmental Venous Anomalies: Detailed MR Imaging Assessment
AJNR 29:1317-1323, Santucci,G.M.,et al., 2008
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Signal-intensity abnormalities detectable by standard clinical MR images were identified in association with 12.5% of consecutively identified DVAs. Excluding patients with significant underlying white matter disease, we adjusted the prevalence to 7.8%. The etiology of the signal-intensity changes is unclear but may be related to edema, gliosis, or leukoaraiosis secondary to altered hemodynamics in the drainage area.
