Unique ID: D020786
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D020786
Annotation: coordinate IM with CENTRAL NERVOUS SYSTEM NEOPLASMS or specifics (IM)
Scope Note: A vascular anomaly composed of a collection of large, thin walled tortuous VEINS that can occur in any part of the central nervous system but lack intervening nervous tissue. Familial occurrence is common and has been associated with a number of genes mapped to 7q, 7p and 3q. Clinical features include SEIZURES; HEADACHE; STROKE; and progressive neurological deficit.
