Partial, non-thrombotic, superior sagittal sinus occlusion due to occipital skull tumours.

Compound elevated skull fracture with occlusion of the superior sagittal sinus. A case report.

This is a case report of compound elevated skull fracture. This is a very rare variant of skull fractures. A CT angiogram demonstrated occlusion in the mid 1/3rd of superior sagittal sinus. Only few cases have been reported before. This patient was managed by the Neurosurgery department of Square Hospitals Ltd. Dhaka who had a history of assault and diagnosed as compound elevated fracture. He w...

Simple depressed skull fracture causing posterior third superior sagittal sinus occlusion and elevated intracranial pressure.

Internal 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...

Surgical management of a transosseous meningioma with invasion of torcula, superior sagittal sinus, transverse sinus, calvaria, and scalp

BACKGROUND Meningiomas involving both intradural and extradural structures are rare tumors. We report the complete resection of a massive complex transosseous meningioma that had invaded the torcula, superior sagittal sinus, occipital bone, and scalp. CASE DESCRIPTION A 48-year-old male presented after 3 days of worsening headaches and blurry vision. Preoperative imaging demonstrated an 11 × ...

Venous reconstruction in surgery of meningiomas invading the sagittal and transverse sinuses.

SURGERY OF MENINGIOMAS INVOLVING MAJOR DURAL SINUSES LEAVES THE SURGEON CONFRONTED WITH A DIFFICULT DILEMMA: leave the fragment invading the sinus in place and have a higher risk of recurrence, or attempt a total removal with or without venous reconstruction and expose the patient to a potentially greater operative danger. The authors report a series of 47 meningiomas (41 of the sagittal sinus,...
