Venous hypertension as the cause of intracranial hypertension in patients with transverse sinus dural arteriovenous fistula.
نویسندگان
چکیده
We describe 2 patients with transverse sinus dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) who presented with headache and papilledema due to intracranial hypertension. It has been proposed, but never proven, that venous hypertension causes the intracranial hypertension in DAVF. The data from our patients support this hypothesis. An additional factor leading to intracranial hypertension could be stenosis of the fellow transverse sinus.

متن کاملDural arteriovenous fistula after cerebral sinus thrombosis: a case study of serial venous transcranial color-coded sonography.
ural sinus thrombosis has been proposed as the primary event in the formation of a dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF).1–4 However, the temporal course of development of a DAVF after cerebral sinus thrombosis has rarely been shown clinically. Venous angiography is a sensitive method for evaluating sinus thrombosis.5 However, the invasiveness of venous angiography limits its value in the follow-u...

Objective: Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (AVFs) account for 10%-15% of all intracranial arteriovenous lesions. Some dural AVFs produce ocular symptoms include proptosis, diplopia, episcleral venous engorgement, periorbital swelling, extraocular muscle limitation, visual field defect, and papillaedema. Materials and Methods: We reviewed four patients who had dural AVFs with ophthalmi...
متن کاملCurrent Status of the Application of Intracranial Venous Sinus Stenting
The intracranial venous sinus is an important component of vascular disease. Many diseases involve the venous sinus and are accompanied by venous sinus stenosis (VSS), which leads to increased venous pressure and high intracranial pressure. Recent research has focused on stenting as a treatment for VSS related to these diseases. However, a systematic understanding of venous sinus stenting (VS-S...
