Thrombo-Phlebitis of the Jugular Bulb

Gangrene associated with thrombo-phlebitis.

Normal jugular bulb oxygen saturation.

BACKGROUND Normal values of the jugular bulb oxygen saturation were obtained in 1942 and in 1963. Correct catheter positioning was not confirmed radiologically. OBJECTIVES To replicate the measurements during angiographic catheterisation of the jugular bulb. METHODS Oxygen saturation in the jugular bulb (SjO(2)), inferior petrosal sinus (SipsO(2)), and internal jugular vein was bilaterally ...

Changes in the jugular bulb associated with sacrifice of the internal jugular vein.

OBJECTIVE To determine whether sacrifice of the internal jugular vein (IJV) causes subsequent changes in the jugular bulb. STUDY DESIGN Retrospective chart review. SETTING Tertiary referral center. PATIENTS Patients were selected by CPT code for neck dissection and were included in the study if they had undergone unilateral neck dissection and had preoperative and postoperative computed t...

Preoperative embolization of anastomoses of the jugular bulb: an adjuvant in jugular foramen surgery.

We describe the technique of preoperative embolization of the inferior petrosal sinus/anterior condylar vein complex and the posterior condylar vein in three patients undergoing skull base surgery that required opening of the jugular bulb. Contrary to the usual situation, essentially no blood was lost during the operation, resulting in decreased surgical time and reduced risk to the lower crani...
