BACKGROUND Vascular anomalies accompanied with the diploic veins are rare. Among them, sinus pericranii, which is characterized by abnormal connections between intra- and extracranial venous systems, is relatively common. Besides sinus pericranii, a few cases of subepicranial varix with connections to diploic veins have been reported, but these varices had no connections to intracranial venous ...

Sinus pericranii (SP) is an unusual venous anomaly characterized by communication of pericranial varicosities with an underlying dural sinus. We report a case of spontaneous thrombosis of sinus pericranii presenting as focally tender, nonreducible mass lesion different in character from the baseline venous abnormality. CT and colour Doppler Imaging were performed.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare but serious disorder that is associated with a poor clinical outcome. We report a 35-year-old man who had a severe headache and diplopia while climbing Mount Everest. His MR venography showed right transverse and right sigmoid sinus thrombosis. He improved on anticoagulant and symptomatic measures. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis at high altitu...

cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare but dangerous complication that occurs more often in young adults. this study aimed to determine the demographic characteristics, the predisposed population, the underlying causes and paraclinical findings in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis in kermanshah city. in this case study the patients' files in six hospitals during 6 years, from 2002 to 2008 ...

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a complication of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine that should elicit high index suspicion when patients present with persistent headache post vaccination.

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...

C orreondence To The Editor We read with interest the paper by Cai et al. These authors described two cases of persistent falcine sinus. We would like to add to the authors' discussion by mentioning a recent study of ours. We found that in 25 adult cadavers an extensive network of small tributaries within the falx cerebri could always be found, especially within its posterior one third (Fig.). ...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The termination of the superficial middle cerebral vein is classically assimilated to the sphenoid portion of the sphenoparietal sinus. This notion has, however, been challenged in a sometimes confusing literature. The purpose of the present study was to evaluate the actual anatomic relationship existing between the sphenoparietal sinus and the superficial middle cerebral...

OBJECTIVE Evaluate the role of venous sinus stenting in the treatment of pulsatile tinnitus among patients with Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension (IIH) and significant venous sinus stenosis. SUBJECTS AND METHODS A written informed consent approved by the Weill Cornell institutional review board was signed and obtained from the study participants. Thirty-seven consecutive patients with IIH ...
