Variations of the superior sagittal sinus and bridging veins in human dissections and computed tomography venography

Variations of the superior sagittal sinus and bridging veins in human dissections and computed tomography venography

Abstract Objectives The aim of the present study was to examine the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) and bridging veins (BVs) from an anatomical, neurosurgical and radiological perspective. Methods Computed tomography venographies (CTVs) of 30 patients and 9 cadaveric dissections of human SSS were anal...

Zusammenfassung:Abstract Objectives The aim of the present study was to examine the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) and bridging veins (BVs) from an anatomical, neurosurgical and radiological perspective. Methods Computed tomography venographies (CTVs) of 30 patients and 9 cadaveric dissections of human SSS were analyzed. Results CTV and cadavers showed most BVs emptying into the SSS close by (±3 cm) and distal to the coronary suture (74% in CTV, 62% in cadavers). Conclusions Important anatomical information can be drawn from cerebral CTV for neurosurgical preoperative planning.
