Developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) are often associated with intracranial cavernous malformations (CMs). The frequency of this association and the observation of de novo CMs located near a known, preexisting DVA raise speculations as to the possible etiopathogenetic relationship between the two. In this article, the authors review the recent literature dealing with the potential etiopathogen...

Dural sinus thrombosis developed in two young women with paroxysmal nocturnal haemoglobinuria (PNH). The incidence, the clinical presentation, the radiologic findings, the therapy and the pathophysiology of haemolysis and thrombosis are discussed.

Successful strategies by which to effectively recruit and retain academic subspecialists in benign haematology have not been established. To evaluate the effectiveness of a grant-funded, mentored fellowship with respect to retention and early career goals in haemostasis/thrombosis, we sought to compare outcomes for graduates of a grant-funded, mentored fellowship training programme in haemostas...

Pseudotumor cerebri syndrome (PTCS) is a condition that encompasses both primary (idiopathic) and secondary causes of intracranial hypertension (e.g., medical conditions, venous sinus thrombosis, medications). Based on new criteria, idiopathic intracranial hypertension is now considered not synonymous with PTCS but rather a subset within primary PTCS.1 PTCS is a neurologic disorder of unclear e...
