A possibly causal relationship between multiple sclerosis and chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency has recently been hypothesized. Studies investigating chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency have reported conflicting results and few have employed multiple diagnostic imaging modalities across a large patient and control population. In this study, three complementary imaging modalities...

Introduction: Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (CVT) is a relatively uncommon condition whose presentation varied. The diagnostic imaging features can be subtle. correct diagnosis of CVT relies on neuroimaging Non Contrast Computed Tomography (NCCT), CT Venography (CTV), Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI), MR (MRV). Aim: To compare 128 slice Multidetector (MDCT) venography and MRV in CVT, taking as gol...

abstract cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (csvt) in children has rarely been reported in the literature, especially without underlying disorder. it has increasingly been diagnosed due to clinical awareness and sensitive neuroimaging techniques. the aim of this article was to report a case of cerebral sinovenous thrombosis without underlying disorder. we reported a 5 year old girl, presented with ...

Objectives: This prospective study was aimed at evaluation of diagnostic value of Doppler sonography and magnetic resonance (MR) venography in the internal jugular vein territory. Material and methods: There were assessed 126 patients (252 internal jugular veins). The patients were initially diagnosed using Doppler sonography and MR venography, and then catheter venography of the veins was perf...

New technologies have produced a revolution in primary varicose vein treatments. Duplex ultrasound is now used for preoperative diagnosis, postoperative surveillance, and during many procedures. Ultrasound has also altered our understanding of the pathophysiology of chronic venous disease. Laser and radiofrequency saphenous ablations are common. Classic techniques, such as sclerotherapy, high l...

Introduction Susceptibility Weighted Imaging (SWI) method is commonly used for Magnetic Resonance (MR) venography. The difference between SWI and conventional GRE imaging is that phase information of signal is incorporated to enhance contrast of image. The phase can provide excellent contrast between venous blood vessels and other tissues with susceptibilities that are different from the backgr...

From time immemorial, cerebral thrombosis used to be synonymous with arterial thrombosis. But, cerebral venous thrombosis was not uncommon but neurologists and pathologists were not properly oriented regarding cerebral venous thrombosis(CVT) specially because the anatomical knowledge were not updated and nobody actually believed that thrombosis can occur in low velocity capacitance vessels as o...
