Intracranial nonjugular venous pathways: a possible compensatory drainage mechanism.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The IJVs are considered to be the main pathway draining the intracranial venous system. There is increasing evidence for the existence of alternative venous pathways. Studies using extracranial sonography techniques have demonstrated a nonjugular venous system. In the current study, we used MR images to investigate the NJV drainage system and its components (vertebral ple...
متن کاملAnomalous intracranial venous drainage mimicking orbital or cavernous arteriovenous fistula.
A 9-year-old child presented with right eye swelling and bluish discoloration over the periorbital region. MR and CT displayed prominent vessels within the orbit and in the facial region, suggesting a carotid-cavernous fistula. Doppler ultrasound indicated the vascular engorgement was not secondary to a proximal arteriovenous shunt. Arteriography with its inherent time sequence image capability...
متن کاملAnomalous intracranial venous drainage associated with basal ganglia calcification.
We describe the neuroradiologic findings in a 7-year-old boy with anomalous intracranial venous drainage and cerebral calcification. CT scans demonstrated that his scalp mass was a plexus of scalp veins filled through the emissary foramen, and there were cerebral calcifications. Angiography revealed bilateral sigmoid sinus atresia with most of the intracranial venous drainage via the prominent ...
متن کاملSpontaneous Intracranial Hypotension Plus Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: A Case Report Study
This is a case study of a 34-year-old woman who was admitted to hospital with a history of severe orthostatic headache. She was diagnosed as having spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) by undetectable cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure at lumbar puncture, and with evidence of diffuse dural enhancement of the brain detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the contrast-enhance...
متن کاملAnomalous pulmonary venous drainage.
Cases of drainage of the pulmonary veins into the right side of the heart have been well summarized by Brody (1942). He reported 38 cases of complete, and 68 cases of partial, drainage of the pulmonary veins into the right atrium or its tributaries. The purpose of this paper is to record a further case, and to summarize the cases not reported by Brody and those which have been reported during t...
