Jugular vein aneurysms are rare vascular abnormalities that are most commonly encountered in the pediatric population. We report two separate cases in infants, both of whom presented with enlarging neck masses and were found to have jugular vein aneurysms. Diagnosis was established with duplex ultrasonography, computed tomography angiography, digitally subtracted catheter venography, and magnet...

Figure 2a: Magnetic resonance venography (Coronal) images show non-visualization of the superior sagittal sinus and only partial visualization of the right transverse and sigmoid sinuses.

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Stenosis of the internal jugular, azygos, and other veins detected by using intracranial and neck Doppler and B-mode sonography and confirmed by venography has been reported in MS with a high degree of sensitivity. This article reports the results of sonographic findings in patients with MS and controls, looking for evidence of the controversial entity chronic cerebrospin...

PURPOSE This study evaluated the incidence of a venous thromboembolism (VTE) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA) using multidetector row computed tomography-indirect venography (MDCT-indirect venography) and assessed the efficacy of anti-coagulation therapy. MATERIALS AND METHODS We enrolled 118 patients with 126 cases of TKA. The average age of the patients was 68.4 years. We used 64 channel...

STUDY OBJECTIVES Because specific studies are unavailable, the exact prevalence of detectable "residual" deep venous thrombosis (DVT) in patients with acute pulmonary embolism (PE) is unknown. DESIGN Review of clinical records and radiologic documents of consecutive patients. SETTING Pulmonary diseases and radiology departments at a university hospital. PATIENTS All patients hospitalized ...

OBJECTIVE This prospective study evaluated the ability of indirect 16-row multidetector CT venography, in comparison with Doppler sonography, to detect deep vein thrombosis after total hip or knee replacement. MATERIALS AND METHODS Sixty-two patients had undergone orthopedic replacement surgery on a total of 30 hip joints and 54 knee joints. The CT venography (scan delay time: 180 seconds; sl...

BACKGROUND A prospective clinical study was performed to compare the diagnostic accuracy between ultrasound and venography of deep venous thrombosis (DVT) after total knee arthroplasty (TKA). METHODS This series consisted of 55 patients (43 women and 12 men) with an average age of 61 (range, 51-81) years who underwent TKA. No pharmaceutical prophylaxis for DVT was administered. Ultrasound and...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE CCSVI was recently described in patients with MS. CCSVI is diagnosed noninvasively by Doppler sonography and invasively by catheter venography. We assessed the role of conventional MRV for the detection of IJV anomalies in patients with MS diagnosed with CCSVI and in healthy controls who underwent MRV and Doppler sonography examinations during 6 months. MATERIALS AND ME...
