The eponymous term torcular Herophili has been used for the confluence of sinuses. Although no original writings of Herophilus are extant, his accomplishments and descriptions live on in the writings of such authors as Galen. However, in regard to the torcular Herophili, there are some inconsistencies in the secondary sources and their translations regarding what was actually originally described by Herophilus. Herein, we review the history of the term torcular Herophili, which is so often used in clinical medicine.

Neuroradiology
November 2024
Department of Obstetrics, Unidade Local de Saúde São João, Porto, Portugal.
Purpose: The described evolution in prenatal and postnatal periods appears to support the hypothesis that the torcular pseudomass (TP) is probably a physiological, highly frequent and transient developmental finding. Neverthless, it remains to be determined whether TP has any relation with the final anatomy of the adjacent venous sinuses or any anatomic variants. We aimed to explore the relation of the TP with the adjacent dural venous anatomy/anatomic variants in the prenatal period, using MR angiography (2D TOF MRA).

Article Synopsis
- Dural sinus arteriovenous malformation is a rare brain problem that can cause serious issues for babies before they are born.
- This study shows how a special 3D ultrasound can help doctors find this problem even before the baby arrives.
- In one case, doctors used the 3D ultrasound to spot a unique sign of the issue, which was later confirmed after the baby was born.
Combined Mechanical Thrombectomy for Multiple Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Involving the Straight Sinus: A Case Report.
NMC Case Rep J
August 2024
Department of Neurosurgery, Tokushima Red Cross Hospital, Komatsushima, Tokushima, Japan.
The proportion of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis involving the straight sinus (StS) is low, and the prognosis is poor. We report a case of multiple sinus thrombosis involving StS in which the patient underwent mechanical thrombectomy (MT) using a stent retriever and an aspiration catheter (combined MT) with a good postoperative course. A 15-year-old girl was admitted to our hospital with rapid loss of consciousness.
