Sinus pericranii with aneurysmal malformation of the internal cerebral vein
Surgical Neurology
|March 1, 1975
Insights
A rare sinus pericranii case revealed unusual dilated deep cerebral veins and an aneurysmal venous malformation. Surgical treatment led to the malformation becoming thrombosed six years later.
Area of Science:
- Neurology
- Vascular Malformations
- Neurosurgery
Background:
- Sinus pericranii is a rare congenital condition involving an abnormal communication between intracranial venous sinuses and extracranial veins.
- Understanding the full spectrum of associated vascular anomalies is crucial for effective management.
Observation:
- A unique case of sinus pericranii presented with previously unobserved anomalous dilated deep cerebral veins.
- An associated aneurysmal venous malformation was identified in the affected individual.
Findings:
- Surgical occlusion of the sinus pericranii was performed.
- Six years post-surgery, the aneurysmal venous malformation demonstrated spontaneous thrombosis.
Implications:
- This case highlights the potential for complex venous anomalies associated with sinus pericranii.
- It suggests that venous malformations may undergo thrombosis years after sinus pericranii treatment.
- Further research into long-term outcomes and management strategies for these complex vascular malformations is warranted.
Abstract:
A case of sinus pericranii is reported because of a previously unobserved clinical feature. There were associated anomalous dilated deep crebral veins and an aneurysmal venous malformation. Six years after the surgical occlusion of the sinus pericranii the aneurysmal malformation became thrombosed.
