CSF hydrodynamics in superior sagittal sinus thrombosis.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Cerebrospinal fluid hydrodynamics were investigated with a constant pressure infusion method in patients with superior sagittal sinus thrombosis. Ten patients were studied with serial examinations up to 15 years after the onset of the disease. A total of 70 CSF hydrodynamic examinations were performed. A clear increase in intracranial pressure due to raised pressure in the major dural sinus was seen in all patients. A striking feature was the persistent intracranial pressure increase that declined only gradually. This had no obvious clinical impact. Change in CSF resorption facility played only a minor role in the intracranial pressure elevation. None of the patients developed hydrocephalus.

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 کاملPrediction of the Jugular Venous Waveform using a Model of Cerebrospinal Fluid Dynamics
Background and Purpose: We have previously reported a model of cerebral hydrodynamics in the form of an equivalent electrical circuit. The aim of this work was to demonstrate that the model could predict venous flow patterns seen in the superior sagittal sinus, straight sinus and jugular vein in normal volunteers. Methods: An electrical equivalence model of cerebro-spinal fluid (CSF) and cerebr...

Dural venous sinus thrombosis (DVST) in the neonatal period has a spectrum of clinical and radiologic findings. At the present time, the treatment for venous sinus thrombosis is mainly one of supportive therapy. In a patient with documented DVST, whose clinical status is deteriorating despite conventional supportive therapy, there may be a rationale for more aggressive therapy. We report a case...
