Explanation

A "developmental venous anomaly" is a term used to describe a variation in the way some veins in the brain are formed. It's not a disease or illness, but rather a difference that's present from birth. These veins are still able to do their job of carrying blood from the brain back to the heart, they just look a bit different than usual on medical images like MRIs or CT scans.
