  • Dural Venous Channels: Hidden in Plain Sight–Reassessment of an Under-Recognized Entity
    Published July 16, 2020 as 10.3174/ajnr.A6647 ORIGINAL RESEARCH INTERVENTIONAL Dural Venous Channels: Hidden in Plain Sight–Reassessment of an Under-Recognized Entity M. Shapiro, K. Srivatanakul, E. Raz, M. Litao, E. Nossek, and P.K. Nelson ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Tentorial sinus venous channels within the tentorium cerebelli connecting various cerebellar and su- pratentorial veins, as well as the basal vein, to adjacent venous sinuses are a well-recognized entity. Also well-known are “dural lakes” at the vertex. However, the presence of similar channels in the supratentorial dura, serving as recipients of the Labbe, super- ficial temporal, and lateral and medial parieto-occipital veins, among others, appears to be underappreciated. Also under-recog- nized is the possible role of these channels in the angioarchitecture of certain high-grade dural fistulas. MATERIALS AND METHODS: A retrospective review of 100 consecutive angiographic studies was performed following identification of index cases to gather data on the angiographic and cross-sectional appearance, location, length, and other features. A review of 100 consecutive dural fistulas was also performed to identify those not directly involving a venous sinus. RESULTS: Supratentorial dural venous channels were found in 26% of angiograms. They have the same appearance as those in the tentorium cerebelli, a flattened, ovalized morphology owing to their course between 2 layers of the dura, in contradistinction to a rounded cross-section of cortical and bridging veins. They are best appreciated on angiography and volumetric postcontrast T1- weighted images. Ten dural fistulas not directly involving a venous sinus were identified, 6 tentorium cerebelli and 4 supratentorial.

  • MR Evaluation of Developmental Venous Anomalies: Medullary Venous Anatomy of Venous Angiomas
    MR Evaluation of Developmental Venous Anomalies: Medullary Venous Anatomy of Venous Angiomas Charles Lee, Michael A. Pennington, and Charles M. Kenney III PURPOSE: To present characteristic MR findings of developmental venous anomalies (DVAs) in terms of location of caput and draining veins, to correlate these findings with normal medullary venous anatomy, and to suggest an approach to the evaluation of DVAs by means of MR imaging. METHODS: We reviewed the contrast-enhanced MR examinations of 61 patients with DVA, which were selected from 4624 consecutive cranial MR examinations. Site of the DVA and size and direction of draining veins were recorded. RESULTS: Seventy-two DVAs with 78 draining veins were located: 18 were juxtacortical, 13 were subcortical, and 41 were periventricular or deep. Twenty-six of the DVA caputs were frontal, 16 were parietal, 13 were in the brachium pontis/ dentate, seven were in the temporal lobe, three were in the cerebellar hemisphere, three were in the occipital lobe, three were in the basal ganglia, and one was in the pons. The draining veins were superficial in 29 cases and deep in 49. Of the 36 supratentorial deep draining veins, 16 were in the trigone/occipital horn, 11 were in the mid-body of the lateral ventricle, seven were in the frontal horn, and two were in the temporal horn. Among the 14 infratentorial deep draining veins, five were in the lateral recess of the fourth ventricle, four were anterior transpontine veins, three were lateral transpontine veins, and two were precentral cerebellar veins. CONCLUSION: The DVA caputs and their draining veins occurred in typical locations that could be predicted from the normal medullary venous anatomy, with the frontal, parietal, and brachium pontis/dentate being the most common locations.

  • 7. Internal Jugular Vein the Internal Jugular Vein Is a Large Vein That Receives Blood from the Brain, Face, and Neck
    د.احمد فاضل Lecture 16 Anatomy The Root of the Neck The root of the neck can be defined as the area of the neck immediately above the inlet into the thorax. Muscles of the Root of the Neck Scalenus Anterior Muscle Scalenus Medius Muscle The Thoracic Duct The thoracic duct begins in the abdomen at the upper end of the cisterna chyli. It enters the thorax through the aortic opening in the diaphragm and ascends upward, inclining gradually to the left. On reaching the superior mediastinum, it is found passing upward along the left margin of the esophagus. At the root of the neck, it continues to ascend along the left margin of the esophagus until it reaches the level of the transverse process of the seventh cervical vertebra. Here, it bends laterally behind the carotid sheath. On reaching the medial border of the scalenus anterior, it turns 1 downward and drains into the beginning of the left brachiocephalic vein. It may, however, end in the terminal part of the subclavian or internal jugular veins. Main Nerves of the Neck Cervical Plexus Brachial Plexus The brachial plexus is formed in the posterior triangle of the neck by the union of the anterior rami of the 5th, 6th, 7th, and 8th cervical and the first thoracic spinal nerves. This plexus is divided into roots, trunks, divisions, and cords. The roots of C5 and 6 unite to form the upper trunk, the root of C7 continues as the middle trunk, and the roots of C8 and T1 unite to form the lower trunk.
