Morphometric evaluation of parasagittal venous anatomy for intracranial approaches: a cadaveric study.

چکیده
AIM Obstruction of superior sagittal sinus (SSS) and collateral bridging veins is a well-known reason of postoperative brain edema and brain infarct, however, morphometric anatomic studies done in the light of surgical landmarks aren't sufficient in number. Object of this study is to describe venous structures related to SSS with silicon injected cadaveric models. MATERIAL AND METHODS This study was on 6 silicon injected cadaveric heads at Anatomy Department. Duramater was removed and veins on parasagittal area were examined. SSS morphology, veins draining into SSS, their size, number and distance were evaluated. RESULTS Mean vein number draining into SSS is 2.9±1.5 at anterior to coronal suture (CS), between CS and vertex is 3.2±0.8, between vertex and lambdoid suture (LS) is 2.3±0.9, between LS and confluens sinuum 0.3±0.5. There was no statically difference between right and left sides (p=0.140, p > 0.05). Diameter of veins was 2.4±1.0 mm at anterior to CS, 3.0±1.2 mm at between CS and vertex, 2.4±0.7 mm at between vertex and LS, and 2.2±0.5 mm at between LS and confluens sinuum. CONCLUSION Knowing details of anatomic structures of SSS and venous structures draining into it may protect the patients from many surgical complications. SSS and related structures with surgical landmarks are valuable for neurosurgeons.

PURPOSE To define the anatomy of the facial and vestibulocochlear nerves in the internal auditory canal on parasagittal CT scans of cadaveric specimens and to compare this anatomy with findings on in vivo T2-weighted two-dimensional fast spin-echo and three-dimensional turbo spin-echo MR images. METHODS Thirty-eight formalin-fixed cadaveric temporal bones were examined with 1-mm-thick contigu...
متن کاملManagement of Inadvertent Injury to Superior Sagittal Sinus in Parasagittal Meningioma: Technical Note
Parasagittal meningioma is the most common intracranial meningioma [1]. Surgical resection is being conducted for large and symptomatic lesions. Evaluation of superior sagittal sinus (SSS) involvement preoperatively is essential as it would reflect on surgical preparation and need for exposing the sinus or not. The essence of avoiding SSS exposure in parasagittal meningiomas is probably preferr...
متن کاملMorphometric evaluation of the uncinate process and its importance in surgical approaches to the cervical spine: a cadaveric study.
INTRODUCTION The uncinate process (UP) has an important role because of its relationship with the vertebral artery and spinal roots. Degenerative diseases cause osteophyte formation on the UP, leading to radiculopathy, myelopathy and vertebral vascular insufficiency, which may require surgical management. This study aimed to evaluate the morphometry of this region to shed light on the anatomy o...

Background: Central venous catheterization is a procedure that is being performed frequently especially in critical clinical settings. In such conditions, good knowledge of the surface anatomy of venous structures is vital to avoid possible complications which could result in life-threatening situations such as bleeding and pneumothorax. Considering the difference between venous anatomy of chil...

Transtemporal approaches exposing the petroclival region require extensive drilling of the petrous bone. This is only possible with an understanding of the three dimensional anatomy of the temporal bone and the cranial base. The purpose of this study is to review the topographic anatomy of the petrous bone and peripetrous region, with emphasis on the relationships critical to the lateral approa...
