==Venous angioma== | |||
===General=== | |||
*Subcortical white matter. | |||
*Most common vascular malformation found at autopsy. | |||
===Gross=== | |||
*May look like petechial hemorrhages. | |||
===Microscopy=== | |||
*Thin walled, dilated vascular channels. | |||
*Lesions larger than capillary teleangiectasia. | |||

==Capillary teleangiectasia== | |||
*Usually incidental finding at autopsy. | |||
*Pons as predilection site. | |||
===Microscopy=== | |||
*Many small, thin walled capillaries surrounded by normal brain. | |||
*No hemorrhage. | |||
