A variant of the superficial middle cerebral vein mimicking an extraaxial hematoma.

چکیده
We report a case of a 65-year-old man who was admitted to the hospital on an emergent basis because of head trauma. Non-contrast-enhanced CT findings of the brain suggested a small extraaxial hematoma that was shown to be a superficial middle cerebral vein variant on subsequent MR images.

Small supratentorial, extraaxial primitive neuroectodermal tumor causing large intracerebral hematoma.
A 16-year-old boy presented with an unusual case of a supratentorial, extraaxial small round blue cell tumor of the central nervous system, which was most likely a primitive neuroectodermal tumor (PNET). Preoperative computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging showed a large multistage hematoma in the left central region. Intraoperatively, a small, superficial tumorous lesion was found b...
متن کاملIncidence of superficial sylvian vein compromise and postoperative effects on CT imaging after surgical clipping of middle cerebral artery aneurysms.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Dissection and retraction of the sylvian fissure can cause venous insufficiency and may be an important contributor to postoperative edema or hemorrhage after clipping of a middle cerebral artery (MCA) aneurysm. The incidence of changes in the superficial middle cerebral vein (SMCV) and adjacent veins and whether such changes increase the amount of edema or hemorrhage on ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The purpose of this study was to evaluate the correlation between appearance of angiographic early venous filling during intra-arterial reperfusion therapy and posttherapeutic hemorrhagic complications. METHODS For the past 7 years, 104 patients prospectively underwent superselective local angiography via a microcatheter before and during intra-arterial reperfusion ther...
متن کاملDural arteriovenous fistula between inferolateral trunk of the internal carotid artery and superficial sylvian vein.
A 40-year-old Brazilian man presented with headache followed by consciousness disturbance. Computed tomography showed subarachnoid hemorrhage with right frontal hematoma. Angiography revealed a dural arteriovenous fistula (dAVF) fed by the inferolateral trunk of the internal carotid artery and draining into the superficial sylvian vein with varix formation. The shunting point was directly oblit...
متن کاملVariations of the superficial middle cerebral vein: classification using three-dimensional CT angiography.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Classification of variations of the superficial middle cerebral vein (SMCV) remains ambiguous. We propose a new classification system based on embryologic development for preoperative examination. METHODS Three-dimensional CT angiography was used to evaluate 500 SMCVs (in 250 patients). The outflow vessels from the SMCV were classified into seven types on the basis of e...
