"Epidural" vertebral venous plexus.
I read with interest the recent case report by Burtis et al regarding findings of MR imaging in craniospinal hypotension. The authors described an enlarged intrathecal spinal vein connecting with engorged “epidural” venous plexus through the intervertebral vein. In addition, the engorged venous system in the intraspinal extrathecal space, prominent in the ventral aspect, has been interpreted to...
متن کاملEpidural Venous Plexus Engorgement: What Lies Beneath?
Epidural venous plexus engorgement may occur due to several conditions that prevent the normal venous circulation. Inferior vena cava agenesis is a very rare cause of epidural venous enlargement. We present a case with a very thin inferior vena cava and left iliac vein agenesis who presented with back pain due to epidural vein engorgement and lacked other venous problems such as deep vein throm...
متن کاملOpacification of epidural venous plexus and dura in evaluation of cervical nerve roots: CT technique.
Thin-section computed tomography (CT) after bolus high-volume, intravenous contrast enhancement of the cervical epidural and intervertebral foraminal venous plexus was undertaken in eight patients. Visualization of exiting cervical nerve root by opacification of the surrounding intervertebral plexus was evaluated in 38 foramina. Visualization was judged as excellent in 77% and good in 21%. Thus...
متن کاملSymptomatic enlarged cervical anterior epidural venous plexus in a patient with Marfan syndrome.
A 38-year-old man with Marfan syndrome presented with headache and neck pain. MR imaging revealed a large enhancing mass in the cervical anterior epidural space. Cervical laminectomy with biopsy of the lesion revealed a large engorged anterior epidural venous plexus (AEVP). Marfan syndrome may predispose the patient to enlargement of AEVP secondary to a vessel wall abnormality.
متن کاملAn Uncommon Cause of Contralateral Brachial Plexus Injury Following Jugular Venous Cannulation
BACKGROUND The complication rate of central venous catheterization ranges from 4% to 35%. Brachial plexus injury can occur, mostly on the same side as the catheterization, without affecting the contralateral brachial plexus. CASE REPORT A 71-year-old woman received placement of a vein hemodialysis catheter via right internal jugular vein. Five days after the cannulation, she complained of contr...
