introduction septic cavernous sinus thrombosis (cst) is a rare condition that can result in high mortality and morbidity rates if not treated immediately. cst may be aseptic or septic. less common primary sites of infection include the tonsils, soft palate, middle ear, and orbit. reported cases of middle ear infection are very rare, and response to treatment is poor. conclusions findings of lab...

ural sinus thrombosis has been proposed as the primary event in the formation of a dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF).1–4 However, the temporal course of development of a DAVF after cerebral sinus thrombosis has rarely been shown clinically. Venous angiography is a sensitive method for evaluating sinus thrombosis.5 However, the invasiveness of venous angiography limits its value in the follow-u...

infection-related cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (cvst) is a rare cerebral vascular diseases which has no pathognomonic sign or definite diagnostic approach. it is crucial to early suspect and recognize the disease to lower morbidity and mortality of it. however, its low incidence and atypic presentation often leads to misdiagnosis and treatment delay which increase complications and mortalit...

Dural sinus thrombosis is a diagnosis that is not commonly thought of in the first instance by radiologists and clinicians, especially when the clinical presentation is not specific. We describe the clinical presentation of three patients with acute thrombosis of the superior sagittal sinus, the left transverse sinus, and the right cavernous sinus, respectively. Compared with computed tomograph...

The material for this research consisted of 93 patients with dural arteriovenous malformations (DAVMs) who were studied retrospectively with regards to therapeutic success and failure, who had undergone either neurosurgery, or embolization or a combination of both methods and whose disease was located in the cavernous sinus, the superior sagittal sinus, the transverse-sigmoid sinus of the anter...

A 49-year-old woman presented with tinnitus since a long time. Magnetic resonance angiography revealed abnormal vessels located around the left sigmoid sinus. Digital subtraction angiography revealed a left sigmoid sinus dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) primarily supplied by the left tentorial marginal artery from the left internal carotid artery, posterior meningeal artery from the left vert...

OBJECTIVE To compare the right and left sides of the same skulls as far as the described landmarks are concerned, and establish the craniometric differences between them. METHOD We carried out measurements in 50 adult dry human skulls comparing both sides. RESULTS The sigmoid sinus width at the sinodural angle level was larger on the right side in 78% of the cases and at the level of the di...
