We report a case of putaminal haemorrhage from a venous cerebral angio
ma following thrombosis in a draining vein. The patient complained of
numbness of the right side, followed by headache and aphasia. CT demon
strated an intracerebral haemorrhage due to thrombotic occlusion of a
draining vein of the venous angioma, Carotid angiography showed the ve
nous angioma. MRI studies confirmed the diagnosis and demonstrated rec
analisation of the draining vein following therapy with phenprocoumon.
