  • Normal Flow Signal of the Pterygoid Plexus on 3T MRA in Patients Without DAVF of the Cavernous Sinus
    ORIGINAL RESEARCH EXTRACRANIAL VASCULAR Normal Flow Signal of the Pterygoid Plexus on 3T MRA in Patients without DAVF of the Cavernous Sinus K. Watanabe, S. Kakeda, R. Watanabe, N. Ohnari, and Y. Korogi ABSTRACT BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cavernous sinuses and draining dural sinuses or veins are often visualized on 3D TOF MRA images in patients with dural arteriovenous fistulas involving the CS. Flow signals may be seen in the jugular vein and dural sinuses at the skull base on MRA images in healthy participants, however, because of reverse flow. Our purpose was to investigate the prevalence of flow signals in the pterygoid plexus and CS on 3T MRA images in a cohort of participants without DAVFs. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Two radiologists evaluated the flow signals of the PP and CS on 3T MRA images obtained from 406 consecutive participants by using a 5-point scale. In addition, the findings on 3T MRA images were compared with those on digital subtraction angiography images in an additional 171 participants who underwent both examinations. RESULTS: The radiologists identified 110 participants (27.1%; 108 left, 10 right, 8 bilateral) with evidence of flow signals in the PP alone (n ϭ 67) or in both the PP and CS (n ϭ 43). Flow signals were significantly more common in the left PP than in the right PP. In 171 patients who underwent both MRA and DSA, the MRA images showed flow signals in the PP with or without CS in 60 patients; no DAVFs were identified on DSA in any of these patients. CONCLUSIONS: Flow signals are frequently seen in the left PP on 3T MRA images in healthy participants.

  • Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma
    CASE REPORT Papillary Thyroid Carcinoma: The First Case of Direct Tumor Extension into the Left Innominate Vein Managed with a Single Operative Approach Douglas J Chung1, Diane Krieger2, Niberto Moreno3, Andrew Renshaw4, Rafael Alonso5, Robert Cava6, Mark Witkind7, Robert Udelsman8 ABSTRACT Aim: The aim of this study is to report a case of papillary thyroid carcinoma (PTC) with direct intravascular extension into the left internal jugular vein, resulting in tumor thrombus into the left innominate vein. Background: PTC is the most common of the four histological subtypes of thyroid malignancies,1 but PTC with vascular invasion into major blood vessels is rare.2 The incidence of PTC tumor thrombi was found to be 0.116% in one study investigating 7,754 thyroid surgical patients, and, of these patients with tumor thrombus, none extended more distal than the internal jugular vein.3 Koike et al.4 described a case of PTC invasion into the left innominate vein that was managed by a two-stage operative approach. Case description: A 58-year-old male presented with a rapidly growing left thyroid mass. Fine needle aspiration cytology (FNAC) suggested PTC and surgical exploration confirmed tumor extension into the left internal jugular vein. Continued dissection revealed a large palpable intraluminal tumor thrombus extending below the clavicle into the mediastinum, necessitating median sternotomy. Conclusion: Aggressive one-stage surgical resection resulted in successful en bloc extirpation of the tumor, with negative margins. Follow-up at 22 months postoperatively demonstrated no evidence of recurrence. Clinical significance: This is the first case of PTC extension into the left innominate vein managed with one-stage surgical intervention with curative intent.

  • Potential Involvement of the Extracranial Venous System in Central Nervous System Disorders and Aging Robert Zivadinov1,2* and Chih-Ping Chung3,4
    Zivadinov and Chung BMC Medicine 2013, 11:260 http://www.biomedcentral.com/1741-7015/11/260 DEBATE Open Access Potential involvement of the extracranial venous system in central nervous system disorders and aging Robert Zivadinov1,2* and Chih-Ping Chung3,4 Abstract Background: The role of the extracranial venous system in the pathology of central nervous system (CNS) disorders and aging is largely unknown. It is acknowledged that the development of the venous system is subject to many variations and that these variations do not necessarily represent pathological findings. The idea has been changing with regards to the extracranial venous system. Discussion: A range of extracranial venous abnormalities have recently been reported, which could be classified as structural/morphological, hemodynamic/functional and those determined only by the composite criteria and use of multimodal imaging. The presence of these abnormalities usually disrupts normal blood flow and is associated with the development of prominent collateral circulation. The etiology of these abnormalities may be related to embryologic developmental arrest, aging or other comorbidities. Several CNS disorders have been linked to the presence and severity of jugular venous reflux. Another composite criteria-based vascular condition named chronic cerebrospinal venous insufficiency (CCSVI) was recently introduced. CCSVI is characterized by abnormalities of the main extracranial cerebrospinal venous outflow routes that may interfere with normal venous outflow. Summary: Additional research is needed to better define the role of the extracranial venous system in relation to CNS disorders and aging. The use of endovascular treatment for the correction of these extracranial venous abnormalities should be discouraged, until potential benefit is demonstrated in properly-designed, blinded, randomized and controlled clinical trials.

  • Arteries of the Neck Common Carotid Artery
    Arteries of the neck Common carotid artery Beginning: On the right, the CCA arises from the brachiocephalic artery as it passes behind the sternoclavicular joint. On the left, it arises directly from the arch of the aorta in the superior mediastinum. End: upper border of the thyroid cartilage, by dividing into ECA and ICA. Branches: it gives no branches except its terminal branches(ECA and ICA). Internal carotid artery Beginning: from CCA lateral to the upper border of the thyroid cartilage. End: in the cranial cavity by dividing into anterior and middle cerebral arteries. External carotid artery Beginning: from CCA lateral to the upper border of the thyroid cartilage. End: in the substance of the parotid gland behind the neck of the mandible, by dividing into superficial temporal and maxillary arteries. Course: At its origin, it lies in the carotid triangle and lies anteromedial to the ICA. It later becomes anterior, then lateral, to the internal carotid as it ascends. It first ascends forwards and then inclines backwards and laterally, to pass midway between the tip of the mastoid process and the angle of the mandible.
