We report two patients with persistent falcine vein associated with atretic parietal cephaloceles. Two children, aged two and eight months, were admitted to our department for MRI examination of the brain because of palpable parietal subscalp lesions. MRI study of the brain and MR-venography revealed a falcine sinus joining the superior sagittal sinus in a vertical position. The straight sinus was absent in its normal position. The parietal subscalp lesions were cyst-like formations under the skin associated with a small calvarial defect. The lesions were assumed to be atretic cephaloceles.

✓ There is a wide variety of disorders associated with thrombosis of the superior sagittal sinus (SSS), including infectious disease, noninfectious conditions such as vasculitis and hypercoagulable states, and complications arising from pregnancy or use of oral contraceptive medications. Despite these well-defined associations, approximately 25% of the cases remain idiopathic. In this article the authors describe a patient who was found to have SSS thrombosis while experiencing a thyrotoxic phase of Graves disease. The patient presented with intracerebral hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage, seizure, coma, a raised fibrinogen concentration, low protein C activity, and atrial fibrillations. Thrombolysis was successfully performed despite the coexistence of thrombosis and intracranial hemorrhage. Patients with thyrotoxicosis and a diffuse goiter may be predisposed to the development of SSS thrombosis, as a result of hypercoagulation and stasis of local venous blood flow. In the present case, a patient in whom thrombosis coexisted with intracranial hemorrhage was successfully treated using thrombolytic therapy.

AbstractDural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVFs) located within superior sagittal sinus (SSS) wall with direct cortical venous drainage are rare. They are also known as variant DAVF (vDAVF) and form a special subgroup of DAVFs. Their chance of presenting with aggressive features is high compared with transverse sigmoid sinus fistula. They drain directly into cortical veins (Borden type 3, Cognard type III and IV). A systematic English literature review of SSS vDAVF was made. Systematic literature review revealed a total of 31 published cases. These were commonly seen in male population, (24 males, 77.41%, 24/31). Average age of patients was 54 years. A total of 24 patients (77.41%, 24/31) had aggressive clinical presentations with 13 patients (41.93%, 13/31) having intracranial hemorrhages (ICH). Two patients had rebleeding (15.38%, 2/13). Middle portion of SSS was commonly involved (15 cases, 75%). A total of 25 (96.15%, 25/26) cases had patent SSS. Most of the fistulas were idiopathic (65.38%, 17/26), with trauma being a frequent etiological factor (26.92%, 7/26). Venous ectasia was seen in 19 patients (59.37%, 19/32). Middle meningeal arterial (MMA) supply was seen in all patients (100%, 26/26), with bilateral MMA supply in 21 cases (80.76%), and unilateral in 5 cases (19.23%). Twenty patients (62.50%, 20/32) received only endovascular treatment (EVT), while four patients had EVT followed by surgery (12.5%, 4/32). Transarterial route via MMA was the preferred treatment option (79.16%). Complete obliteration of fistulas was noted in all cases (100%, 30/30). No immediate complication was noted after EVT. As much as 92.30% patients showed good recovery. Thus, SSS vDAVF forms a special subgroup of DAVF, with aggressive presentation, and warrants urgent treatment. EVT is effective treatment option and can produce complete obliteration.

Atypical Meningiomas

✓It has been established that fluorescence-guided resection using 5-aminolevulinic acid (5-ALA) is useful in glioma surgery. The authors report on a 65-year-old woman who had a huge atypical left-hemisphere meningioma, which extended into the skull and to the superior sagittal sinus and demonstrated fluorescence in response to administration of 5-ALA. After the tumor was removed, the operative field was observed under the fluorescent mode of a fluorescence surgical microscopy system. Several minute areas of residual tumor tissue were visualized as strong fluorescence behind the vein and sinus, in a part of the hypertrophic dura, and along the edge of the skull. These remnants were completely removed. The authors concluded that fluorescence-guided resection using 5-ALA is useful in cases of atypical meningiomas with a high risk of recurrence.
