Postoperative brain MRI in a 65-year-old man with Defoville (Foville) syndrome

Post-contrast T1-weighted sequence. A suboccipital telovelar approach was used to gain access to the rhomboid fossa (D). Then the infrafacial triangle was used as an entry point to the pons (C) to perform microsurgical excision of the BCM (A) and the pontine hematoma (B,C). The cerebellar developmental venous anomaly was left intact (A-D). (Source: Beucler N, Boissonneau S, Ruf A, Fuentes S, Carron R, Dufour H.
