Scalp vein detected using internal carotid angiography that did not result in venous sinus compromise.

چکیده
We present an unusual case of a scalp vein detected by using angiography of the internal carotid artery. The vein arose from the superior sagittal sinus and drained into the deep posterior cervical vein via the parietal emissary vein. This scalp vein may be a collateral pathway for venous sinuses; however, the patient had no evidence of venous sinus occlusive disease or intracranial hypertension.

Upper extremity arteriovenous dialysis fistula resulting in cavernous sinus arterialized blood flow.
Arterialized blood flow in the cavernous sinus may result from carotid-cavernous fistula or dural venous fistula. We encountered an unusual case of arterialized blood flow in the cavernous sinus on MR angiography resulting from arterialized retrograde venous flow in the internal jugular vein. This abnormal flow originated from an upper extremity dialysis arteriovenous fistula in the presence of...
متن کاملCarotico-cavernous Sinus Fistula: Duplex Doppler Findings
INTRODUCTION Carotico cavernous sinus fistula (CCF) is an abnormal communication between the carotid artery and the cavernous sinus and is classified angiographically as dural or direct. Spontaneous CCF is a dural arterio-venous fistula at the cavernous sinus which is different from traumatic CCF or CCF associated with a ruptured aneurysm at the cavernous internal carotid artery. Cerebral angio...
متن کاملMajor cerebral arterial and venous disease in osteopetrosis.
Two patients with osteopetrosis were studied in whom severe stenosis of one or both internal carotid arteries was demonstrated. One patient had autosomal dominant osteopetrosis and the other patient had the autosomal recessive form of the disease. In one patient, probable occlusion of one internal jugular vein and retrograde thrombosis of the contributing dural venous sinuses was present. Venou...
متن کاملSubarachnoid hemorrhage caused by dural arteriovenous fistula of the sphenobasal sinus--case report.
A 59-year-old woman presented with a rare middle fossa dural arteriovenous fistula (AVF) unrelated to the cavernous sinus manifesting only as subarachnoid hemorrhage. Angiography revealed shunts between the meningeal branches of both the internal and external carotid arteries and the sphenobasal sinus. The AVF drained into the superficial middle cerebral vein (SMCV) which had a varix and an ana...
متن کاملCT arteriography and venography in pulsatile tinnitus: preliminary results.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Pulsatile tinnitus (PT), a common disorder, can be caused by a variety of otologic and vascular lesions. Various imaging modalities, including CT, MR imaging and angiography, and conventional angiography, have been used in the assessment of PT. Ideally, a single imaging study to evaluate for the largest variety of etiologies would be optimal. In our study, we examine the ...
