[On the problem of venous strokes]

M Barcikowska-Litwin, Z Tomankiewicz

    Neurologia I Neurochirurgia Polska
    |January 1, 1980

    Summary

    Autopsy revealed venous strokes in two elderly females due to thrombosis of the great cerebral vein. These dramatic cases highlight venous stroke risks in older individuals.

    Area of Science:

    • Neurology
    • Pathology

    Background:

    • Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare form of stroke.
    • Venous strokes can present with severe neurological deficits.

    Observation:

    • Two autopsy cases of fixed brain specimens are presented.
    • Case 1: A 54-year-old female with diabetes and hypertension.
    • Case 2: A 78-year-old female.

    Findings:

    • Both cases demonstrated a dramatic clinical course.
    • Autopsy revealed thrombosis of the great cerebral vein (vena cerebri magna) in both patients.
    • This indicates a direct link between vena cerebri magna thrombosis and venous stroke.

    Implications:

    • Highlights the critical role of the great cerebral vein in cerebral venous drainage.
    • Underscores the potential for severe outcomes in venous strokes.
    • Suggests the need for increased awareness and diagnostic consideration of CVT, particularly in at-risk populations.
