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...

Anastomoses

Anastomoses

In human anatomy, anastomosis refers to a connection or opening between two things, particularly between blood vessels or other tubular structures. The term is derived from the Greek term 'anastomosis,' which means 'outlet' or 'opening.' This natural network of connections plays a critical role in the survival and functionality of the human body.
Anastomoses can be formed at arterial, venous, and lymphatic vessels.
Arterial Anastomosis: These occur between arteries. They...

The Arch of Aorta

The Arch of Aorta

The coronary arteries, originating from the ascending aorta, bifurcate from two sinuses located within the ascending aorta. Positioned just above the aortic semilunar valve, these sinuses house essential aortic baroreceptors and chemoreceptors, crucial for maintaining cardiac function. The left coronary artery and the right coronary artery branch off from the left posterior and anterior aortic sinuses, respectively.
Encircling the heart, the coronary arteries form a ring-like structure before...

Arteries of the Head and Neck

Arteries of the Head and Neck

The human body's intricate network of arteries ensures that every organ system receives the necessary oxygen and nutrients for optimal function. The arterial network in the head and neck region is particularly complex, providing vital blood flow to the brain, eyes, and other critical structures. Prominent arteries in this region include the internal carotid arteries and the vertebral arteries.
The internal carotid arteries supply blood to the anterior portion of the cerebrum. They enter the...

Summary

Dural arteriovenous fistulas are rare brain vascular lesions. Untreated aggressive fistulas can cause bleeding and neurological deficits, necessitating treatment to close abnormal artery-vein connections.

Background:

Dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) are uncommon cerebrovascular malformations.
High-grade DAVFs pose risks of hemorrhage and neurological deficits.

Purpose of the Study:

To summarize the nature of dural arteriovenous fistulas.
To outline treatment goals and modalities for DAVFs.

Main Methods:

Review of literature on dural arteriovenous fistulas.
Discussion of treatment options based on lesion characteristics.

Main Results:

DAVFs involve abnormal connections between arteries and veins in the dura.
Aggressive DAVFs require intervention to prevent serious complications.

Conclusions:

Treatment aims to obliterate the fistula and prevent venous congestion.
Therapeutic strategies are tailored to individual patient and lesion factors.
