INTRODUCTION Subgaleal hematomas usually develop followed a birth trauma in neonates. This entity is extremely rare in older children and may be associated with coagulation disorders or subaponeurotic vascular malformations. CASE REPORT The authors report a spontaneous subgaleal hematoma in a 9-year-old girl without scalp injury. Only platelet aggregation test was identified as an impaired re...

BACKGROUND Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a distinct disorder with highly variable symptoms and courses. Malignancy is known to be one of the predisposing factors of CVT. CASE REPORT We present the case of a 69-year-old man with sudden behavioral changes. Brain MRI, magnetic resonance venography, and positive D-dimer assay confirmed the presence of CVT. The work-up for detecting the caus...

A 29-year-old female wasadmitted to the hospital because of increasing exertional dyspnea, chest oppressive feeling and palpitation. Lung per fusion scan, pulmonary angiography, and venography of the lower extremities revealed multiple pulmonary embolism and a right popliteal venous aneurysm as the probable source of emboli. B-mode/Doppler echography and magnetic resonance imaging were useful f...

High-resolution magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is invaluable for identifying cerebral tumors that cause epilepsy. Serial voxel-based automated quantitative analyses are more sensitive than visual reading for detecting change in a lesion. Eloquent cortex can be identified with functional MRI (fMRI), with cautions about the precise location and extent of critical cortex. Tractography is useful ...

Cerebral venous thrombosis is increasing common disease in daily practice with sharing clinical nonspecific symptoms. This disorder is potentially lethal but treatable, oftenly it was overlooked in both clinical and radiologic in routine practice. Whenever, clinical suspected, prompt investigation by noninvasive imaging Magnetic resonance (MR) or advanced modilities such as cerebral venous thro...

The vein structures of the brain are important for understanding brain function and structure, especially when functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI) is utilized, as fMRI is based on changes in the blood-oxygen-level-dependent (BOLD) signal, which is directly related to veins. The aim of the present study was to develop an effective method to produce high signal-to-noise-ratio (SNR) and h...

Background: Thrombophilia due to Protein C deficiency is a rare condition, present in 0.2% of general population. Cerebral venous thrombosis has an incidence 3-4 cases per million adults. A combination both very uncommon. Patients with these conditions are prone life-threatening superinfections. Case: 51-year-old woman presented pressing frontal headache accompanied left periorbital edema, feve...

Venous thromboembolic disease is a common but likely underdiagnosed condition in the cancer patient population. Timely and accurate diagnosis of venous thromboembolism is imperative due to the unacceptable morbidity and mortality associated with a misdiagnosis. Because diagnosis of the condition based on clinical grounds alone is unreliable, physicians should select an appropriate objective dia...

PURPOSE Knowledge of variations in the cerebral dural venous sinus anatomy seen on magnetic resonance (MR) venography is essential to avoid over-diagnosis of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). Very limited data is available on gender difference of the cerebral dural venous sinus anatomy variations. MATERIALS AND METHODS A retrospective study was conducted to study the normal anatomy of ...
