The angiographic and CT findings in seven cases of cerebral venous angioma are presented and analyzed. Two cases were also examined with dynamic CT. The radiological literature on the subject is reviewed and a new classification of cerebral venous angioma based on its pattern of drainage is proposed. It is concluded that with the use of thin slices and coronal cuts both the angioma and its pattern of venous drainage can be identified on CT in a high proportion of cases. In addition, with dynamic CT the specificity of CT in diagnosing cerebral venous angioma may further increase.

Radiological and anatomical evaluation of the internal venous system in the context of access to the third ventricle - proposal of a new classification.

Background: The internal venous system of the brain is a crucial anatomical landmark during accesses to the third ventricle through the foramen of Monro. Many classifications based on radiological assessment of the system have been developed, but they tend to be descriptive and do not highlight favorable anatomical variants. The aim of our study was to create a system based on morphometric measurements to facilitate preoperative decision-making regarding access to third ventricle tumors.

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare and potentially critical cerebrovascular disease involving intracranial dural sinuses and veins. The diagnosis is a stepwise pathway starting from clinical suspicion and employing several neuroradiological techniques, mainly Computed Tomography (CT)-based and Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI)-based modalities. The neuroradiological findings, both in the diagnostic phase and in the follow-up phase, may provide some results at risk for misdiagnosis.

Shunt dependence syndrome is a serious long-term complication characterized by symptoms and signs of increased intracranial pressure with normal-sized lateral ventricles after several years of arachnoid cyst-peritoneal shunting. It is easy to misdiagnose and overlook when combined with sinus stenosis, thus delaying treatment. Here, we present a 35-year-old man with an unexplained headache and binocular horizontal diplopia with high intracranial pressure.

Background And Purpose: Symptoms indistinguishable from behavioral-variant frontotemporal dementia (bvFTD) can develop in patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension associated with severe brain sagging. An underlying spinal CSF leak can be identified in only a minority of these patients and the success rate of nondirected treatments, such as epidural blood patching and dural reduction surgery, is low. The disability associated with bvFTD sagging brain syndrome is high and, because of the importance of the venous system in the pathophysiology of CSF leaks in general, we have investigated the systemic venous circulation in those patients with recalcitrant symptoms.

Alcoholic liver disease (ALD) is a commonly known liver disease mediated by prolonged alcohol consumption. Aescin is a triterpene saponin that can manage several conditions, including brain trauma, arthritis, venous congestion, stroke, and thrombophlebitis. Even so, studies illustrating the aescin role in ALD are scarce.
