==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.

*Pons as predilection site.
===Microscopy===
*Many small, thin walled capillaries surrounded by normal brain.
*No hemorrhage.
