BACKGROUND Cortical dysplasias are rarely associated with vascular anomalies. They are usually associated with venous anomalies or in few cases with both arterial and venous anomalies. METHODS Twenty-six year old female presented with history of headache showed cortical dysplasia associated with pure arterial dysplasia in the absence of any associated venous anomaly. CONCLUSIONS An abnormal...

Persistent left superior vena cava (PLSVC) represents the most common thoracic venous anomaly and is an important clinical entity for cardiologists and electrophysiologists, among others. In approximately 30% of cases, a bridging innominate vein connects the left superior vena cava to the right. The present report highlights the value of defining the venous anatomy with a case of dual-chamber p...

Sinus pericranii is an unusual venous anomaly characterized by communication of pericranial varicosities with an underlying dural sinus. We report two cases of spontaneous partial thrombosis of sinus pericranii presenting as focally tender, nonreducible mass lesions different in character from the baseline venous abnormality. CT, CT angiography, and CT venography (CTV) were performed in both ca...

PATIENT Female, 50 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Double superior vena cava Symptoms: - MEDICATION - Clinical Procedure: - Specialty: Nephrology. OBJECTIVE Anatomical anomaly/variation. BACKGROUND Superior vena cava anomalies are caused by variations in the development of the embryonic thoracic venous system. Duplication of the superior vena cava is a rare anomaly with an incidence in the general popul...

A case of cor triatriatum dexter is described in which the anomalous right atrial partition is identified as the right venous valve; there is an associated anomaly of the right atrioventricular valve which combines features of Ebstein's anomaly, and an atypical, imperforate, tricuspid atresia.
