Acute dural venous sinus thrombosis without brain parenchymal abnormality: assessment with cerebral blood volume using dynamic susceptibility contrast magnetic resonance imaging

We report results applying the dynamic susceptibility contrast (DSC) magnetic resonance (MR) technique to a patient with dural venous sinus thrombosis (DVST) of the right transverse-sigmoid sinus without brain parenchymal abnormality. The DSC-MR technique clearly demonstrated increased regional cerebral blood volume of the right temporo-parieto-occipital region adjacent to a right transverse-sigmoid sinus thrombosis in a patient with DVST without cerebral edema or hemorrhage.     

Radionuclide imaging in diagnosis of aortic dissection

A case of an aortic dissection occurring in a 69-yr-old woman, 4 yr after aortic valve replacement is presented. The clinical context was one of an acute myocardial infarction. The first-pass and gated blood-pool scintigraphy ordered to evaluate cardiac function disclosed unexpected features of an aortic dissection clinically not suspected.     

Musculoskeletal neoplasms: static and dynamic Gd-DTPA--enhanced MR imaging

Static and dynamic magnetic resonance imaging studies were performed in 69 patients with bone and soft-tissue tumors. T1-weighted spin-echo (SE) imaging after intravenous administration of gadolinium diethylenetriaminepentaacetic acid (DTPA) improved the differentiation of necrotic from viable areas; the contrast-to-noise ratio (C/N) between tumor and muscle was an average of 44% lower compared with that in T2-weighted SE imaging. The C/N between tumor and bone marrow or fatty tissue was 43% and 37% lower, respectively, compared with that in nonenhanced T1-weighted SE imaging. Dynamic changes of signal intensity (SI) after Gd-DTPA enhancement were assessed with fast low-angle shot imaging. Of malignant tumors, 84.1% exhibited slopes higher than 30% per minute; 72% of benign tumors showed slopes lower than 30% per minute. The dynamic technique enabled assessment of the malignant potential of a tumor with some overlap (accuracy, 79.7%). Necrotic areas and peritumorous edema showed significantly lower and more gradual increases in SI than adjacent neoplastic tissue.     

Radionuclide venography: imaging monitor in deep-vein thrombosis of the pelvis and lower extremities

Seventy-four adults with documented deep-vein thrombosis of the pelvis and/or lower extremities had baseline and follow-up radionuclide venography (RNV), giving a total of 171 studies. Fifty-nine of the patients had unilateral venous thrombosis, of which 36 (61.0%) involved the left side and 23 (39.0%) the right. The higher incidence in the left side was attributed to the longer and more horizontal course of the left common iliac vein, as well as to compression by the right iliac artery and inguinal ligament. In 13 patients bilateral involvement was noted. "Normalisation" of the venous circulatory pattern was characterised by recanalisation and partial or significant disappearance of abnormal collaterals. This occurred in 43/74 patients. In 24 cases, no change was recorded during the interval, while seven patients deteriorated.

Diffusion- and perfusion-weighted MR imaging of dural sinus thrombosis

A patient with dural sinus thrombosis had progressively worsening symptoms and signs that resolved after intradural thrombolysis. Intradural sinus pressures were 54 mm Hg. Echo-planar MR imaging revealed complex abnormalities of diffusion and widespread delay in mean transit time that improved immediately after thrombolysis. This case suggests that diffusion- and perfusion-weighted imaging can provide valuable information noninvasively to help triage patients with dural sinus thrombosis between conservative and aggressive management.     

Magnetic resonance imaging of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) represents a diagnostic challenge due to the diversity of clinical presentation. The radiologist should be aware of the common neurological features. Unenhanced CT may show the first indications of venous sinus occlusion. Confirmatory diagnostic imaging should be performed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance venography (MRV) or computed tomography (CT) venography. We illustrate the MRI and MRV features of the thrombosed venous sinus and venous oedema or infarction and discuss the diagnostic limitations of these techniques.

Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging of dural sinus thrombosis

Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) is useful to diagnose dural sinus thrombosis. However, the representative appearance of dural sinus thrombosis on diffusion-weighted MRI has not been established. This study was aimed at determining whether cytotoxic or vasogenic edema is more predominant in the affected cerebral parenchyma and assessing the time courses and prognosis of dural sinus thrombosis lesion. The studies on sixteen patients with dural sinus thrombosis who underwent diffusion-weighted MRI were retrospectively reviewed. The diagnosis was confirmed by digital subtraction angiography in 11 patients and magnetic resonance angiography in five patients. Diffusion-weighted images with echo-planar imaging were obtained using two or three b values, with the highest b value of up to 1,000 s/mm(2). A region of interest was placed on an area of abnormal signal intensity to calculate apparent diffusion coefficients (ADCs). Nine of the 16 patients had lesions with an increased ADC, whereas, three of these nine patients also had lesions with a decreased ADC. Among 11 patients who underwent initial MRI within 7 days of their last episode, eight had lesions with an increased ADC, of whom three had lesions mixed with both decreased and increased ADC areas. Follow-up studies of these three patients revealed the development of hemorrhagic infarction in two and subcortical hemorrhage in one. Vasogenic edema develops more predominantly and earlier in dural sinus thrombosis, though cytotoxic edema was also associated with the pathological changes in the early phase. Decrease of ADC value is presumed to reflect severe pathological conditions and indicate possible future development of infarction or hemorrhage.
