A 62-year-old male with cerebral venous angioma complicated with subcortical hemorrhage is reported. The unusual localization of this intracranial hemorrhage aroused the physician to perform a further evaluation of the intracranial vessels. Venous angioma is a low flow and low resistant vascular anomaly and hemorrhage from this type of lesion is rare. Traditionally, the treatment for a symptomatic venous angioma is controversial because of its uncertain bleeding rate and vein drainage from the functional area. The surgical removal of the hematoma with the remaining venous angioma was done in this case. The patient recovered well. The literatures on venous angioma of the brain were reviewed and the diagnosis and treatment of the symptomatic venous angioma was discussed. We reported this case to point out that cerebral venous angioma can bleed spontaneously and, subsequently, cause neurological deficits.
