At autopsy, visualization of lesions of the bridging veins, a frequent source of subdural bleeding, is difficult due to their anatomical localization. On the other hand their demonstration is of great importance for the assignment to a chronologically defined trauma. For this reason a postmortem method using computed tomography was developed to visualize the intracranial venous system by means of X-ray contrast media. In subdural bleedings, in which the skull had not been opened up, ruptured vessels could be accurately localized with this method, so that targeted dissection was possible during the subsequent autopsy.

Injuries to the inferior vena cava (IVC) carry high risks and mortality rates. We present a case of suprahepatic IVC injury that was successfully treated with polytetrafluoroethylene (PTFE) graft insertion without cardiopulmonary bypass. A 46-year-old woman was transferred to our trauma centre after a high-speed motor vehicle collision.

The use of large animals in research provides a unique bridge between preclinical findings and clinical relevance, offering a valuable perspective for advancing our understanding of the complexities of heart failure. Multiple models of heart failure have been established with advantages and limitations of each model. Many insights have been gained from these models for understanding both pathophysiological mechanisms and therapeutic interventions for heart failure.

Damage to bridging veins could lead to disastrous complications during interhemispheric approaches. We investigated the morphological and histological characteristics of bridging veins. A total of 10 cadaveric heads and 86 patients were analyzed with either anatomic dissection or neuroimaging.
View Article and Find Full Text PDFAim: Bicoronal incision and bifrontal craniotomy are commonly used for resecting large (4-6 cm) or giant ( 6cm) olfactory groove meningiomas (OGMs). Although the bifrontal approach provides good bilateral visual access to the anterior cranial fossa, it is associated with the risk of injury to the frontal bridging veins and superior sagittal sinus, infection, and CSF leakage due to the frontal sinus neighborhood.
Material And Methods: This was a retrospective review of 16patients (nine men and seven women) with large and giant OGMs operated through unilateral extended pterional craniotomy between 2010 and 2022.

Article Synopsis
- Iatrogenic intraoperative bleeding during C1 surgeries is challenging to control, prompting a study to investigate its possible causes.
- The study analyzed high-resolution CTA images from 551 patients to evaluate variations in the vertebral artery and polymorphisms of ponticulus posticus, along with venous plexus communications.
- Findings indicated that anatomical variations, particularly regarding POPOs and venous structures, can contribute to bleeding; a preoperative CTA is suggested to improve surgical outcomes and reduce risks.*
