Venous hypertensive encephalopathy.
Dural arteriovenous fistulae (DAVFs) in adults are generally regarded to be acquired lesions that may follow trauma, surgery, or thrombosis of a dural sinus (1, 2). Normal dural sinuses contain small arteriovenous anastomoses which do not appear to create any problem (3). In a setting of venous hypertension possibly in association with local angiogenic factors or congenital abnormalities of the...
متن کاملLocalized congestive venous encephalopathy associated with cavernous dural arteriovenous malformation.
An unusual case of venous congestive encephalopathy associated with cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous malformation is reported. The parenchymal changes consisted of a well-demarcated area of hyperintensity on T2-weighted MR images involving the cortex and underlying white matter in the ipsilateral temporal and posterior frontal region. It showed mass effect and persisted for 2 years before ev...
متن کاملMinimal Hepatic Encephalopathy in Patients with Cirrhosis by Measuring Liver Stiffness and Hepatic Venous Pressure Gradient
BACKGROUND/AIM Transient elastography (TE) of liver and hepatic venous pressure gradient (HVPG) allows accurate prediction of cirrhosis and its complications in patients with chronic liver disease. There is no study on prediction of minimal hepatic encephalopathy (MHE) using TE and HVPG in patients with cirrhosis. PATIENTS AND METHODS Consecutive cirrhotic patients who never had an episode of...
متن کاملHepatic Encephalopathy due to Congenital Multiple Intrahepatic Portosystemic Venous Shunts Successfully Treated by Percutaneous Transhepatic Obliteration
Hepatic encephalopathy due to intrahepatic portosystemic venous shunts (IPSVS) in a non-cirrhotic condition is rare. Here we report a rare case of a patient with congenital multiple IPSVS successfully treated by percutaneous transhepatic obliteration. The patient was a 67-year-old woman who presented to our hospital with progressive episodes of consciousness disorder and vomiting. Laboratory te...
متن کاملDementia resulting from dural arteriovenous fistulas: the pathologic findings of venous hypertensive encephalopathy.
PURPOSE Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are acquired arteriovenous shunts located within the dura. The highly variable natural history and symptomatology of DAVFs range from subjective bruit to intracranial hemorrhage and are related to the lesion's pattern of venous drainage and its effect on the drainage of adjacent brain. We examined the prevalence and features of DAVFs in patients with...
