“…In children, there was a report investigating the association between anatomical abnormalities of the venous system and intracranial sinus thrombosis; however, no significant association was found [ 14 ]. There is a report that hypoplasia of the TS has been reported to be associated with venous sinus thrombosis [ 15 ], and it is thought that an abnormal venous system, especially one exhibiting perfusion stasis, may cause venous sinus thrombosis. However, in cases of congenital stenosis of the junction of the VG and RS, the cause of sinus thrombosis remains questionable.…”

Perimesencephalic subarachnoid hemorrhage (PMSAH) is a group of diseases characterized by bleeding around the brainstem. In recent years, it has been suggested that PMSAH is associated with the venous system. We report a case of PMSAH caused by stenosis of the junction of the vein of Galen (VG) and the rectus sinus (RS). A 39-year-old man presented with restlessness at work. He was administered diazepam, and a few minutes later, his consciousness became clear. Imaging showed subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) around the right midbrain, occlusion of the right sigmoid sinus and the right transverse sinus, stenosis of the junction of the VG and RS, T2 hyperintensity in the right middle temporal gyrus, and obstruction of the right vein of Labbe. The location of the SAH coincided with stenosis of the junction of the VG and RS. PMSAH was diagnosed due to the increase in intracranial venous pressure caused by the patient’s sinus obstruction in addition to the stenosis of the junction of the VG and RS. It is necessary to pay attention to venous return when PMSAH is observed.

“…The commonest reported variation is hypoplasia of its rostral end, which occurs in about 7% of individuals. In those cases, the absent portion is replaced by a pair of large parasagittal superior frontal cortical veins that run dorsally to join the origin of the superior sagittal sinus close to the coronal suture [4,6].…”

“…In addition to these variations, total aplasia of one or both transverse sinuses are also reported. Because hypoplasia or aplasia of the left transverse sinus is more common than on the right, the left jugular system will often have small size [6,7].…”

“…Several recent prospective meta-analyses showed that long-term predictors of poor prognosis in patients harboring CVST may include the following: central nervous system infection, all types of cancer, intracranial hemorrhage, deep venous thrombosis and mental disorders 6-8. Possible theoretical risk factors for pregnancy-related CVST may include clinical conditions such as dehydration, cesarean section, anemia, elevated homocysteine level, traumatic delivery, as well as low cerebrospinal fluid pressure caused mainly by dural puncture with neuroanesthetics 9 10. However, it remains unclear in a general or specific way whether these risk factors affect the overall prognosis of patients with CVST at the time of pregnancy and puerperium.…”

Our study was conducted to explore the relationship between cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) and intracranial arteritis during the time of pregnancy as well as puerperium. The current retrospective case study involved a total of 153 patients with pregnancy-related CVST. CVST was diagnosed mainly based on clinical manifestations and imaging results. Detailed information on demographics, risk factors (excluding intracranial arteritis), and pregnancy outcomes was systematically recorded. The average age of patients diagnosed with CVST was 28.67±3.54 years old. Among these patients, there were 62 cases of puerperal CVST and 91 cases of pregnancy-related CVST. The clinical manifestations of patients with CVST included headache in 55 cases (35.95%), symptomatic seizures in 26 cases (16.99%), symptomatic limb weakness in 22 cases (14.38%), symptomatic nausea/vomiting in 18 cases (11.76%), symptomatic disturbance of consciousness in 15 cases (9.80%), symptomatic blurred vision in 10 cases (6.54%), and symptomatic fever in 7 cases (4.58%). A proportion of patients reported higher abnormal cerebrospinal fluid pressure (98.28%), white cell count (79.31%), total cholesterol (71.55%) and low-density lipoprotein (62.93%) (p<0.01). The proportion of intracranial arteritis lesions and CVST lesions was high, including 51 cases (43.97%) on the left side and 31 cases (26.72%) on the right side. Bilateral CVST lesions occurred in 13 cases (11.20%) of unilateral intracranial arteritis lesions, and bilateral intracranial arteritis lesions occurred in 16 cases (13.79%) of unilateral CVST lesions. In summary, CVST indicates a potential positive link to intracranial arteritis at the time of pregnancy and puerperium.
