The majority of neonatal cases (90%) result from applying a vacuum to the head at delivery (ventouse-assisted delivery).The vacuum assist ruptures the emissary veins (i.e., connections between dural sinus and scalp veins) leading to accumulation of blood under the aponeurosis of the scalp muscle and superficial to the periosteum.
DVA can be characterized by the caput medusae sign of veins, which drains into a larger vein. The drains will either drain into a dural venous sinus or into a deep ependymal vein. It appears to look like a palm tree. [1]
Emissary veins have an important role in selective cooling of the head. They also serve as routes where infections are carried into the cranial cavity from the extracranial veins to the intracranial veins. There are several types of emissary veins including the posterior condyloid, mastoid, occipital and parietal emissary veins. [1]
It commences at the foramen cecum, through which it receives emissary veins from the nasal cavity. It passes posterior-ward along its entire course. It passes posterior-ward along its entire course. It is accommodated within a groove which runs across the inner surface of the frontal bone , the adjacent margins of the two parietal lobes , and ...
[1] [2] They receive blood from the cerebral veins, and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) from the subarachnoid space via arachnoid granulations. They mainly empty into the internal jugular vein. [2] Cranial venous sinuses communicate with veins outside the skull through emissary veins. These communications help to keep the pressure of blood in the ...
Which can result in a variety of neurological symptoms, such as pseudotumor cerebri, chronic fatigue syndrome, different types of headaches, visual disturbances, pulsatile tinnitus and various neurodegenerative diseases.

Testing for a malformed vein of Galen is indicated when a patient has heart failure which has no obvious cause. [9] Diagnosis is generally achieved by signs such as cranial bruits and symptoms such as expanded facial veins. [4] The vein of Galen can be visualized using ultrasound or Doppler. [4] A malformed Great Cerebral Vein will be ...
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis or cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), is the presence of a blood clot in the dural venous sinuses (which drain blood from the brain), the cerebral veins, or both. Symptoms may include severe headache, visual symptoms, any of the symptoms of stroke such as weakness of ...
