Central Nervous System Vascular Malformations

چکیده
With the growth of the developing embryonic brain, increasing requirements for oxygen and metabolic substrates demand a more comprehensive and complex vascular system. Covering the entire neuraxis is a primitive network of mesenchymal cells known as the meninx primitiva. The meninx follows the folds that appear during development of the brain, filling the interhemispheric fissure that forms between the two lateral telencephalic bulges to ultimately become the falx cerebri. At this early stage (embryo < 4 mm length), there is no differentiation into arteries and veins; the irregular network of endothelial vascular channels constitutes a primitive germinal bed of endothelium rather than a true circulatory system. The meninx primitiva differentiates into three discreet layers, which will ultimately become the dura mater, the arachnoid, and the pia mater [7]. Ultimately, angioblastic cells from the meninx become applied to the superficial surface of the developing brain, then penetrate the surface and extend perpendicularly to the pial surface between the glial elements, forming an extensive capillary-like network of endothelial cells (endothelial “buds”) [2, 7-9].

In this investigation the effects of excess vitamin A administration during the early embryonic period were studied. Intramuscular injection of a single dose of 15000,20000 or 25000 IU/kg vitamin A to pregnant Balb/c strain mice on either day 7,8,9 or 10 of gestation (vaginal plug= day 0 of gestation) produced major malformations in the central nervous system (CNS) including exencephaly, h...
متن کاملIntraventricular Cerebrovascular Pathologies of Hydrocephalus and Managements
Cavernous malformations (CM), also called cavernous angiomas and cavernomas, are lowflow vascular malformations that constitute 5-13% of all central nervous system vascular malformations (Moriarity et al., 1999; Raychaudhuri et al., 2005). On the other hand, IVC are rare pathological entities, constituting 2,5-10.8% of cerebral CM (Kivelev et al., 2010). The first report of an IVC was published...
متن کاملConcepts and controversies in the management of cerebral developmental venous anomalies.
d evelopmental venous anomaly is a widely used synonym for venous angioma or cerebral venous malformation [1]. DVAs are the most frequently encountered cerebral vascular malformation and are frequently reported as incidental findings in computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging studies. Radiological and autopsy series have demonstrated that DVAs occur in 2.5 to 3% of the general popula...
متن کاملClassification and endovascular management of pediatric cerebral vascular malformations.
Pediatric vascular malformations of the central nervous system differ from those seen in adults. Their classification may be based on symptoms, pathomechanics, patient's age, morphologic features, or presumed etiology. This review describes the different classification schemes and the endovascular management options of these rare and challenging diseases. The proposed etiologic classification o...
