Download or read book Cerebral Venous System in Acute and Chronic Brain Injuries written by Min Lou and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-10 with total page 253 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Provides important information from anatomy to pathophysiology and covers most neurological disorders that involve venous circulation. Venous circulation has not been extensively studied and we know relatively little about cerebral venous circulation. Venous circulation contributes to half of the brain circulation and about 70% of the blood in the brain is venous blood. Veins and venules play extremely important roles in brain circulation especially during pathologies such as brain edema, BBB disruption, elevation of intracranial pressure during and after ischemic and hemorrhagic stroke events, traumatic brain injury, neurodegerative disorders, in adults and newborns. Occlusion of veins or sinuses by thrombus, compression of veins and venules by tumor and edematous tissues, elevation of venous pressure during cranial hypertension, all lead to fatal insults such as venous infarction and hemorrhage.
Download or read book Surgery of the Intracranial Venous System written by Akira Hakuba and published by Springer. This book was released on 1996-01-27 with total page 644 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent years have seen remarkable advances in neurosurgery, and these advances have increasingly illuminated the importance of the role of the venous system. Until now, the main focus of neurosurgery has been directed to arteries such as those feeding tumors, but it is now clear that some lesions that had been considered contusional hemorrhage caused by surgical manipulation were in fact hemorrhagic infarctions resulting from impaired venous circulation. In addition, the concept of venous hypertension has emerged as a mechanism of neurological impairment in patients with arteriovenous malformations in the brain or spinal cord. Great strides have also been made in neuroradiological diagnosis with the introduction of magnetic resonance imaging. For example, the exact location of tumors and the degree of invasion of sinuses can now be determined prior to surgery. Thus, new operative techniques are being developed that benefit from such detailed information. This book presents material from a wide range of fields, including embryology, anatomy, pathophysiology, neuroradiology, diagnosis, and treatment. It is hoped that the reviews of pioneering work on the intracranial venous system presented here will prove invaluable for further development of new operative techniques.

Download or read book The Cerebral Veins written by L.M. Auer and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-11 with total page 350 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Research in the morphology-angioarchitecture and ultrastructure-of cerebral veins has been widely neglected in past decades; investigation was mainly focussed on the arterial side of brain circulation. This circumstance has certainly had a negative impact on the development of knowledge in clinical medicine about cerebral venous disease. Cerebra} venous pathology and its consequence is, however, a frequent problern in clinical neurosur gery, both with regard to operative techniques and conservative manage ment. Therefore, it is not surprising that the initiative to collect, for the first time, data on our present knowledge in basic research of cerebral veins, their structure and function under normal and pathological circumstances, came from clinicians. Regarding the cerebral veins the clinician has primarily in view the dysfunctions originating from embryogenetic malformations, phlebitic obstruction, tumourous shunts, or traumatic lesions. But in addition to that, particular attention should be paid to the microstructure ofthe venous vessel walls, their barrier function, and the venous vasomotor system. Studying these interrelationships has for a long time been both fascinating and of immediate interest to me.

The surgical techniques are thoroughly described and cases from the author's personal experience are used in order to illustrate the techniques. The next 14 chapters (4-17) are actually approaching two main types of cerebrovascular diseases: - cerebral venous thrombosis, its various locations and treatment, - cerebral venous malformations. Every chapter starts with a historical perspective, and the description of every disease is made in a detailed manner. Every chapter starts with a historical perspective, and the description of every disease is made in a detailed manner. From "classical" clinical signs to modern investigations and therapeutic procedures, we have in front a complete picture of every venous disease of the brain. The value of computed tomography, magnetic resonance, computed tomography venography, magnetic resonance venography, conventional angio graphy and direct cerebral venography, transcranial Doppler, etc., are emphasized. But the author concludes that the final decision belongs to the clinician, who must know "whom to test, when to test and what to test"! Medical treatment which is very important, particulary in thrombotic disease in carefully analyzed. Then, the modern methods of treatment are presented. Interventional radiology has become the standard today in many situations where surgery was routinely used in the past. The stereotactic radiosurgery has its special place in the treatment of these diseases and is presented in Chapter 17. Every chapter is followed by an extensive bibliography. The book is illustrated in a very rich manner with cases from the author's personal experience.). The whole book is the effort of the single author who proves to be, once again, a remarkable clinician, a brilliant surgeon, an accomplished scientist and teacher and, finally, an original writer, whose personality raises above the scientific content of the text.

Download or read book Cerebral Sinus Thrombosis written by A. Baethmann and published by Springer. This book was released on 2013-12-19 with total page 232 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Contrary to the neurological manifestations of arterial cerebral blood flow disturbances, respective conditions resulting fram obstruction of the cerebro-venous system are far less well understood. Hence, cerebral sinus vein thrombosis (CSVT) ranks prominently among the group of neglected diseases of the brain. This might be attributable (a) to the diagnostic difficulties of the disorder and (b) to the fact that CSVT is associated with a host of heterogeneous neurological symptoms which often are not specific for the underlying venous flow disorder. Another complicating aspect is that CSVT is a consequence of other diseases as disparate as focal infection, trauma, neoplasia, or a thrombosis disposition caused by oral contraceptive use. Although progress has been made in establishing the correct diagnosis of the syndrome, many problems remain as the discussions contained within this volume vividly demonstrate. The same is true for the present understanding of the pathophysiological basis of the disease, eg, concerning the cerebro-venous circulation, the hemodynamic and neuropathological consequences in particular. Part of these deficits may be attributed to a scarcity of solid experimental data due to the limited availability of animal models. However, relevant experimental models are required for an in-depth analysis of the pathophysiological mechanisms, eg, causing brain tissue damage in relationship with the topographical distribution of the venous flow obstruction and, most importantly, for the testing of specific methods of treatment.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is an up-to-date, well-referenced practical resource that offers detailed guidance on the avoidance and management of complications in patients treated for cerebrovascular and spinal vascular disease. All complication avoidance and management techniques currently available to the endovascular/cerebrovascular surgeon are reviewed by pioneers and leaders in the field to provide the clinician with an advanced single point of reference on the subject. The book is divided into four sections. It opens by discussing general issues, such as definition of complications, medicolegal aspects, the role of resident training, and checklists. The subsequent three sections address the avoidance and management of complications when performing surgical, endovascular, and radiosurgical procedures, covering the full ran ge of indications and potential adverse events. All chapters have a standardized format, simplifying the search for information on a specific disease process. Numerous intraoperative images are included, and, when appropriate, algorithms for the avoidance, early recognition, and management of complications are presented. Each chapter concludes with a checklist of preparatory steps and “emergency procedures” that each member of the team must perform in order to ensure the best possible outcomes.
