OBJECTIVE: We elucidated the clinical and radiological characteristics and analyzed the risk factors for hemorrhage and poor outcomes of cerebral venous malformations (CVMs) in a northern Chinese population. METHODS: We included 60 consecutive patients with CVM patients in Beijing Tiantan Hospital from January 2011 to February 2018. The clinical manifestations, radiological characteristics, management, and outcomes were elucidated and analyzed. The patients were followed up for 5-64 months (median, 26). Poor outcomes included repeat bleeding, secondary infarction, severe disability (modified Rankin scale score >= 3), and death. RESULTS: Infratentorial CVMs were more prone to intracranial hemorrhage (75% vs. 28.6%; P< 0.001), dizziness (37.5% vs. 10.7%; P = 0.017), and focal neurological deficits (65.6% vs. 25%; P = 0.002) than were supratentorial CVMs. Supratentorial CVMs were more prone to seizure (32.1% vs. 0%; P = 0.001) than were infratentorial CVMs. Multivariate logistic regression revealed that the major risk factors for intracranial hemorrhage in CVMs were infratentorial lesions (P = 0.003) and complicated cavernous angiomas (P = 0.016). Compared with conservative treatment, resection of hematoma or cavernous angiomas with CVM preservation did not increase the risk of poor outcomes (P = 0.646). However, CVM resection significantly increased that risk (odds ratio, 44.0; P = 0.003). CONCLUSIONS: Our results have shown that conservative treatment of CVMs results in a relatively good prognosis. For those complicated by hemorrhage or cavernous angiomas requiring surgical interventions, the integrity of the CVM should be preserved, irrespective of the treatment. In exceptional cases, before CVM resection, the CVM drainage should be comprehensively evaluated.
