OBJECTIVE To determine the effect of supratentorial intraparenchymal mass lesions of various volumes on dural venous sinuses structure and transluminal pressures. METHODS Three set of preparations were made using adult isolated head derived from fresh human cadaver. A supratentorial intraparenchymal balloon was introduced and inflated at various volumes and effect on dural venous sinuses was ...

recently, a number of procedures for interventional radiology diagnosis and treatment have been developed by the radiologists. the ‘interventional radiology’ refers to the therapeutic procedures performed under imaging guidance. the emergence of this specialty has been made possible by a lot of advances in the technology, imaging systems, and radiologists experience. interventional radiologists...

Background—The purpose of this statement is to provide an overview of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and to provide recommendations for its diagnosis, management, and treatment. The intended audience is physicians and other healthcare providers who are responsible for the diagnosis and management of patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Methods and Results—Members of the panel were ...

Thrombosis of the deep cerebral venous system in the absence of superficial sinus thrombosis is a very rare disease. The clinical and radiological findings can be diagnostically challenging due to the subtle appearances on computed tomography (CT) scan. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) examination is a preferred imaging modality to complement the CT findings for an accurate diagnosis of venous ...

Objective and Importance: Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are common congenital anomalies of intracranial venous drainage. In general, it is felt that DVAs replace the normal venous drainage system and, unless associated with another lesion such as a cavernous malformation, should not produce symptoms. The present case raises important questions regarding the potential for DVAs to become ...

Objective: Two cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) effectively recanalized endovascularly by a combination of thromboaspiration using Cerulean catheter DD6 and stent retriever device are reported. Case Presentations: We endovascularly treated two cases of CVST that presented with progressive vomiting and disturbance of consciousness several days before the diagnosis of occlusion of...

We report a case of successful treatment patient with multiple stab and cut wounds chest abdomen which resulted in the injuries venous coronary sinus abdominal organs. Surgical wound revision antishock unit, priorities surgical accesses (thoracotomy laparotomy) allowed timely cure injury. A key feature our is trauma. Coronary suturing closed heart surgery technically difficult. It has potential...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Our case report deals with the importance of detailed echocardiographic examination for differential diagnosis of coronary sinus dilation and development of abnormalities of great thoracic veins. CASE PRESENTATION A 49-year-old man underwent transthoracic echocardiography for atypical chest pain. A dilated coronary sinus was found and venous contrast echocardiography ra...

Apparent diffusion coefficient (ADC) values at magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) are useful to distinguish vasogenic and cytotoxic edema due to cerebovascular diseases. Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) with retrograde leptomeningeal venous drainage may cause cerebral edema by venous congestion. We report herein the course of ADC values of cerebral edema before and after endovascular treatmen...
