Veins of Head and Neck

Veins of Head and Neck

The blood drainage from the head and neck is primarily managed by three pairs of veins: the external jugular, internal jugular, and vertebral veins. The external jugular veins drain superficial scalp and face structures, passing over the sternocleidomastoid muscles to empty into the subclavian veins.
On the other hand, the vertebral veins, unlike their arterial counterparts, are not primarily responsible for brain drainage. Instead, they drain the cervical vertebrae, spinal cord, and some small...

Summary

Headache is uncommon in brain tumor patients, but common in those with tumors. This review covers brain tumor headaches, including causes, symptoms, and treatments.

Area of Science:

Neurology
Oncology

Background:

Headache is a common symptom, but its association with brain tumors is infrequent.
However, a significant percentage of patients with brain tumors report experiencing headaches.

Purpose of the Study:

To review current findings on headaches associated with brain tumors.
To explore epidemiologic details, clinical manifestations, mechanisms, diagnostic approaches, and management strategies.

Main Methods:

Literature review of studies on brain tumor-associated headaches.
Synthesis of information on prevalence, clinical presentation, and pathophysiology.

Main Results:

The prevalence of brain tumors in patients presenting with headache is low.

Keywords:

Brain tumor Cancer Diagnosis Headache Intracranial neoplasm Pathophysiology Treatment

Conversely, 48%–71% of patients with brain tumors experience headache.

Headache presentation varies based on patient age, intracranial pressure, tumor characteristics, and treatment.

Conclusions:

Brain tumor-associated headaches result from various mechanisms including traction, mass effect, edema, and complications like infarction or hydrocephalus.
Understanding these factors is crucial for diagnosis and management.
