Abstract:
A 24-year-old man with a left parietal cerebral venous angioma underwent a course of electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) for the treatment of bipolar affective disorder. We were able to treat this patient safely and successfully with ECT. There was no evidence of a complication related to his vascular malformation, as was demonstrated by follow-up MRI examination. Our experience suggests that ECT may be safely instituted in patients with venous angiomas, and changes in their lesions can be safely examined by MRI.
