 There is a linear flow void extending from the left superior frontal sulcus towards the anterior aspect of the left lateral ventricle where there is heterogeneous ovoid 9 x 7 mm area with susceptibility effect and heterogeneous predominantly T2 hyperintense, T1 isointense signal. There is no surrounding vasogenic edema or significant mass effect. There is no acute infarct, midline shift or herniation. The ventricles and basal cisterns are normal in size and configuration. The skull and extracranial soft tissues are unremarkable.
Findings most likely representing a 9 x 7 mm cavernoma adjacent to the frontal horn of the left lateral ventricle with associated developmental venous anomaly. Recommend comparison with prior outside examination when available.
