Type III dural fistulas need to be treated to prevent hemorrhage. Treatment can be as simple as clipping the draining vein at the site of the dural sinus. If treatment involves embolization, it will only typically be effective if the glue traverses the actual fistula and enters, at least slightly, the draining vein. [citation needed]
CHIVA method is a type of surgery used to treat varicose veins that occur as a result of long term venous insufficiency. [1] The term is a French acronym for Conservatrice Hémodynamique de l'Insuffisance Veineuse en Ambulatoire (ambulatory conservative hemodynamic treatment venous insufficiency).
Selective angiography of the external carotid artery showing an indirect type D right carotid cavernous fistula, filling of the cavernous sinus (arrow) and retrograde drainage into the right superior ophthalmic vein (arrowhead) [1] This is based on MRI scan, magnetic resonance angiography and CT scan.
Chronic venous insufficiency, varicose veins, traumatic damage to vascular walls, genetics: Treatment: Ligation of leaking veins, lifestyle changes: Frequency: Arterial insufficiency: Younger than 45 years old - 12% Older than 45 years old - 19.6% (mild), 5.9% (severe) Venous leakage: 7.84% (of 67 patients) [1]
One notable emissary vein, the vein of Vesalius, travels through the sphenoidal emissary foramen inferior to the zygomatic arch, connecting the pterygoid plexus with the cavernous sinus. [3] This is an important route for the spread of infection as cranial nerve VI and the internal carotid pass through the cavernous sinus, with cranial nerves ...
CLaCS (Cryo-Laser and Cryo-Sclerotherapy) is a treatment for leg vein lesions by combining transdermal laser effect and injection sclerotherapy, all under skin cooling (Cryo - cold air blown onto the skin at -20C). [1] [2] [3] The laser causes a selective photothermolysis damaging the vein wall. The vein's lumen gets smaller.
The inferior ophthalmic vein passes posterior-ward through the inferior orbit [4] upon the inferior rectus muscle.It passes across (not through) the inferior orbital fissure before either draining into the superior ophthalmic vein within the orbit, or passing through or below the common tendinous ring and exiting the orbit through the superior orbital fissure to empty into the cavernous sinus.
The central retinal vein (retinal vein) is a vein that drains the retina of the eye. It travels backwards through the centre of the optic nerve accompanied by the central retinal artery before exiting the optic nerve together with the central retinal artery to drain into either the superior ophthalmic vein or the cavernous sinus .
