Most nontraumatic subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is resulted from ruptured aneurysm. Few cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) may appear after acute SAH with similar clinical manifestations as aneurysm bleeding, raising difficulties for SAH diagnosis in clinics. Retrospective analysis of 88 patients with CVST in our hospital from March 2008 to March 2015 was carried out. Among them, the radio...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Brain CT is widely used to exclude or confirm acute cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. The purpose of this study was to assess the value of attenuation measurement and the H:H ratio on unenhanced brain CT scans in the diagnosis of acute cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study evaluated 20 patients with acute cerebral venous sinus ...

The authors present the experience of ligation of transverse or sigmoid sinus in the surgical removal of petroclival meningiomas. We reviewed the medical records and venograms of 14 patients with petroclival meningiomas, in whom the intraoperative ligation of transverse or sigmoid sinus had been done at our hospital between 1986 and 1999. All patients passed the intraoperative test clamping of ...
