Superior Sagittal Sinus Bifurcation Variation
نویسندگان
چکیده
It is important to define the dural sinuses during assessment of the clinical presentations in neurosurgery and neurology and especially before performing surgical interventions involving the brain. Variations of dural sinuses are frequently seen in confluence of the sinuses. In our case, cranial venous MRI angiography of a 49-year-old male patient demonstrated that the superior sagittal sinus bifurcated near sutura lambdoidea of the cranium. These coursed as two separate branches and drained into the transverse sinus without forming the confluence of the sinuses. Sinus rectus joined to the left transverse sinus. We think that this unusual variation which was not reported before will contribute to the assessment of the neurologic presentations and also to the surgical interventions

Persistent falcine sinus: is it really rare?
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The falcine sinus has been considered as a rare variation of the venous pathway between the dural layers of the falx cerebri. The purpose of this study was to evaluate the incidence of falcine sinus and its anatomic characteristics by using CTA. MATERIALS AND METHODS A total of 586 consecutive patients were enrolled in this study. A falcine sinus on CTA was defined as a...

Traumatic bilateral extradural haematoma resulting from injury to the superior sagittal sinus is rare; in such cases, early surgical evacuation of the haematoma and control of bleeding from the sinus can achieve an excellent patient outcome.

متن کاملInternal Occipital Crest Misalignment with Internal Occipital Protuberance: A Case Report of Posterior Cranial Fossa Anatomic Variations
During gross anatomy head and neck laboratory session, one dissection group observed an abnormal anatomic variation in the posterior cranial fossa of a 94-year-old male cadaver. The internal occipital crest was not aligned with internal occipital protuberance and groove for superior sagittal sinus. It seemed that the internal occipital protuberance was shifted significantly to the right side. A...
متن کاملStepwise Removal of the Fused Midline Parietal Bone to Avoid Superior Sagittal Sinus Injury in Infants with Sagittal Synostosis.
This work describes a simple technique for the safe removal of the midline parietal bone with the synostotic sagittal suture in infants with sagittal synostosis to avoid dural tearing and bleeding from the superior sagittal sinus. The technique consists of stepwise removal of the midline parietal bone in three pieces instead of one piece, starting with the anterior one-third midline bone being ...
