Abstract:
A case of venous congestion associated with developmental venous anomaly (DVA) in a 5-year-old girl who presented with acute deterioration of consciousness is reported. Susceptibility-weighted imaging revealed abnormal structures connected to the central collector of a DVA, which were not shown on other sequences. These structures were considered to be presumably thrombosed medullary veins.

Jugular Venous Pressure (JVP) Measurement
Position the patient at a thirty- to forty-five-degree angle or in a semi-fowler's position. Look for the highest point of pulsation in the internal jugular vein and measure the vertical distance to the angle of Loius or sternal angle. A normal JVP is 3-4 cm above the...

Overview of Systemic Veins
The coronary sinus, the heart's principal vein, resides in the coronary sulcus on the heart's posterior aspect. This broad venous channel receives nearly all venous blood from the myocardium, the heart muscle. It is fed by three primary veins: the great cardiac vein, the middle...
