Spontaneous Resolution of Congenital Dural Venous Sinus Ectasia Associated With Polymicrogyria-Case Report.

ABSTRACT: Dural venous sinus ectasia belongs to a rare group of venous sinus malformations of unknown origin and uncertain prognosis. We report the first patient with idiopathic congenital ectasia of the confluence of sinuses with thrombosis associated with bilateral polymicrogyria. It may highlight the causative relation between ischemia within the central nervous system due to torcular herophili ectasia with thrombosis in early pregnancy and the development of cortical malformations in neonates. We also highlight the role of MR neuroimaging in the diagnosis of these entities.

Dural Sinus Arteriovenous Malformation in the Fetus. Case Report and Discussion of the Literature.

Project description:Sonographic findings of cerebral arteriovenous malformations in the fetus are uncommon and usually regard aneurysm of the Galen vein. Outcome of arteriovenous malformations is usually severe. We report a case of a fetus at 21 weeks' gestation with a rarer arteriovenous malformation, referred to us for echocardiography on account of a suspicious cardiomegaly at obstetrical scan. Upon examination, we found cardiomegaly, together with an associated moderate tricuspid regurgitation, however, there were no clear features of tricuspid dysplasia. Considering an unusually dilated superior vena cava, we found via color Doppler imaging a systodiastolic flow at Color Doppler progressing. Subsequent MRI of the central nervous system determined the localization in the sinus dura mater. Due to an already evident hemodynamic impact, the parents opted for the termination of the pregnancy. Autopsy confirmed a voluminous arteriovenous malformation of the transverse sinus of the dura mater, severe cardiomegaly, mainly of the ventricles, and hypoplasia of the lungs.

Post traumatic dural sinus thrombosis following epidural hematoma: Literature review and case report.

Project description:Dural sinus thrombosis following a head trauma is a rare condition, described in literature along with the lack of consensus regarding diagnosis and management. We present a case of a fifty-year-old man with a head injury and combined supratentorial-subtentorial epidural hematoma who was treated conservatively through the administration of low molecular weight heparin. The diagnosis and management of this condition are discussed based on a literature review. The early diagnosis may prevent potentially treatable poor outcomes.

An uncommon case of congenital thoracic venous anomaly and extracardiac sinus venosus defect in an asymptomatic adult first presenting with brain abscesses: a case report.

Project description:BackgroundCongenital thoracic venous anomalies (CTVAs) with right-to-left shunt constitute an uncommon source of paradoxical embolization in adults. We present a case of a healthy and physically fit individual with a rare asymptomatic anomaly first presenting with brain abscesses after a visit to the dental office; persistent left superior vena cavae (PLSVC) without bridging vein, over-riding right-sided superior vena cavae (RSVC) connected to the left atrium (LA), and an extracardiac sinus venosus defect.Case summaryA 29-year-old male presented to the neurosurgical unit due to intracranial abscesses requiring intervention following a visit to his dentist. The abscess cultures isolated bacteria commonly found in the normal oral flora. Transthoracic echocardiography revealed an enlarged coronary sinus consistent with PLSVC. An agitated saline study was performed and raised suspicion of simultaneous extra- and intracardiac shunting. Magnetic resonance angiography confirmed the presence of a PLSVC and revealed an RSVC connected to the LA; however, no intracardiac shunt was evident. Electrocardiogram-gated computed tomography was therefore conducted and discovered the rudimentary remains of the physiologic RSVC forming a connection to the right atrium, explaining the bilateral contrast loading seen on the agitated saline study and diagnosing an extracardiac sinus venosus defect (SVD). The patient recovered and has been referred for surgery.DiscussionThis case illustrates a CTVA and a forme fruste type SVD resulting in a severe complication in a healthy adult. We highlight the diagnostic challenges posed, suggest early usage of agitated saline studies, and discuss the rationale for surgical correction of this patient.

Successful treatment of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis by balloon venoplasty: a case report.

Project description:Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a special cerebrovascular disease affecting young adult and middle-aged people. The clinical manifestations of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis are diverse and nonspecific; thus, imaging plays an important role in early diagnosis. Anticoagulation with heparin is the preferred treatment for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Endovascular treatment is also being increasingly used to achieve recanalization of the cerebral venous sinus. We herein describe a woman in her early 50s who was diagnosed with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis for which anticoagulation with heparin was ineffective. To improve her symptoms and prognosis, we selected balloon venoplasty to treat the right sigmoid sinus thrombosis. Her condition subsequently improved, and no recurrence was observed after several follow-ups.

A case of recurrent cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula arising after superselective shunt occlusion and detected by venous arterial spin labeling.

Project description:BackgroundSuperselective shunt occlusion (SSSO) for cavernous sinus dural arteriovenous fistula (CSDAVF) avoids the risk of cranial nerve palsy, unlike entire sinus packing, but requires paying attention to recurrence. Distinguishing between true and paradoxical worsening of postoperative ophthalmic symptoms using a less-invasive modality is often difficult. Here, we report a case of true worsening of neuro-ophthalmic symptom by recurrent CSDAVF detected by venous-arterial spin labeling (ASL) on magnetic resonance imaging.Case descriptionA 55-year-old woman with neither contributory medical history nor previous head trauma presented with neuro-ophthalmic symptoms and pulsatile tinnitus. Digital subtraction angiography (DSA) revealed CSDAVF with multiple shunted pouches. She underwent successful transvenous SSSO, but neuroophthalmic symptom worsened after SSSO and venous-ASL revealed increased signal intensity in the right superior orbital vein (SOV). DSA confirmed recurrent CSDAVF and additional transvenous embolization was performed. Neuro-ophthalmic symptoms and venous-ASL hyperintensity on SOV improved postoperatively.ConclusionVenous-ASL is noninvasive and seems useful for detecting true worsening of neuro-ophthalmic symptoms of recurrent CSDAVF.

Mechanical venous thrombectomy and prolonged infusion of tissue plasminogen activator for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis: Video case report.

Project description:BackgroundCerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare and often misdiagnosed condition with mortality rates ranging from 6 to 10%. Diagnosis and monitoring are typically achieved through noninvasive imaging, including computed tomography or magnetic resonance venography. The current standard of treatment is systemic anticoagulation. However, in patients who continue to decline neurologically or do not show sufficient response to or have absolute contraindications to systemic anticoagulation, endovascular treatments are an alternative. Endovascular options are poorly studied and specific devices have not been developed, partially due to the rare nature of the disease. Here, we present a case report detailing the treatment of extensive CVST from the vein of Galen to the sigmoid sinus using mechanical thrombectomy and local infusions of unfractionated heparin (UFH) and tissue plasminogen activator.Case descriptionA 53-year-old man presented and was found to have extensive CVST extending from the vein of Galen to the left sigmoid sinus. Systemic UFH was begun; however, his condition continued to decline, and he was taken for endovascular intervention, wherein mechanical thrombectomy was undertaken using combinations of stent retrievers and balloon catheters, which provided acceptable revascularization. Unfortunately, his hospital course was further complicated by a cerebellar hematoma that was surgically evacuated and reocclusion of the sinus for which a microcatheter was placed for infusion of UFH and tissue plasminogen activator.ConclusionComplicated CVST may require aggressive endovascular management. Local infusions of heparin and thrombolytic agents as well as mechanical thrombectomy are safe alternative options.

Case Report: Double-Decker Repair of Partial Pulmonary Venous Return Into the Coronary Sinus.

Project description:We present a case of persistent left superior vena cava (LSVC) draining into the right atrium (RA) via the coronary sinus (CS), while the left superior pulmonary vein returns abnormally to the CS. The LSVC may have few clinical consequences but complicates surgical repair of partial anomalous pulmonary venous return (PAPVR). Transthoracic echocardiography and computed tomographic angiography (CTA) showed that a persistent LSVC and PAPVR converged behind the left atrium. During the operation, the left atrium was adjacent to the confluence part. We resected a portion of the adjacent left atrium to create an inlet of the pulmonary veins and used two autologous pericardial patches to reconstruct a tunnel directing flow from the left pulmonary veins to the surgically created inlet in the adjacent left atrium, and another upper tunnel directing flow from the LSVC to the dilated CS. Pulmonary CTA confirmed that both PAPVR flow to LA and LSVC flow to RA were unobstructed. At a 12-month follow-up, the patient was asymptomatic. No supraventricular arrhythmia was detected. We would like to present this additional technique to our armamentarium to treat PAPVR in combination with LSVC.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis as a complication of COVID-19 infection - A case report.

Project description:Introduction and importanceSevere acute respiratory distress syndrome coronavirus 2 is the causative agent of COVID-19 (Coronavirus 2019) infection. Although symptoms are usually associated with the respiratory system, its neurological involvement should not be underestimated. The most common cerebrovascular complication following the infection is ischemic stroke however, CVST (Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis) has been reported.Presentation of caseWe report a unique case of a young patient who had a history of headache and abnormal body movement immediately after COVID-19 infection. His brain Computed tomography scan and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed typical images of CVST. He was admitted and treated with Low Molecular weight heparin.DiscussionCVST is a rare form of stroke which may have devastating complications. The diagnosis is clinically challenging due to its non-specific presentation like headache and altered sensorium alone. Inflammatory process and hypoxic state after the virus infection may favor the hypercoagulable state in CVST. Our patient did not have any other predisposing factor for a hypercoagulable state other than the COVID-19 infection.MRI and venography and computed tomographic venography are the preferred modalities. The Patient is generally treated with anticoagulation therapy.ConclusionHigh index of suspicion of CVST is necessary when a patient presents with unexplained neurological manifestation following a recent COVID-19 infection to prevent from life-threatening complications. Furthermore, clinicians should not underestimate the multisystem involvement of COVID-19.
