Infratentorial developmental venous anomaly concurrent with a cavernoma and dural arteriovenous fistula

A 32-year-old woman underwent a head computed tomography scan after a traffic accident. A calcification in the left cerebellar hemisphere was disclosed. She did not complain of any symptoms, but neurological examination revealed cerebellar ataxia. She did not have any preceding episodes since birth, such as acute-onset headache. Magnetic resonance imaging showed past hemorrhage of the calcification lesion suggestive of a cerebellar cavernoma. A dilated vascular structure was also observed (Fig.  1A, B).
