Cerebral vein and dural sinus thrombosis is a rare condition with a wide range of causes and a highly variable presentation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

It can lead to significant morbidity, but scant literature is available describing diagnosis and treatment when this occurs after ligation of the internal jugular vein. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

We studied complications, prognosis, surgical risks and clinical effect of bilateral ligation in these cases. There was no difference in complications and prognosis between the group of simultaneous bilateral ligation and that of separate ligation. [jstage.jst.go.jp]

High-dose parenteral antibiotics Anticoagulation Ligation or resection of the internal jugular vein on occasion Complications Pulmonary septic emboli Empyema Lung abscess Septic arthritis, osteomyelitis or hepatic abscesses through a patent foramen ovale Prognosis [learningradiology.com]

A wait-and-see decision seems to be all the more justified in Menkes disease because of vessel wall fragility and poor short-term prognosis. [omicsonline.org]

Prognosis The outcome is generally good, but with morbidity and mortality similar to those for subclavian and axillary vein thrombosis. PE can occur but is uncommon when full-strength systemic anticoagulation is in place. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Surgery ensues a better prognosis. A cortical mastoidectomy is sufficient treatment for non cholesteatoma ear disease(31). It allows drainage of the initiating infection and confirms the diagnosis of LST. [arquivosdeorl.org.br]

Two hypotheses have been proposed to explain the etiology of IJP: The first is the elevated pressure in the internal jugular vein and the second is the congenital defect of the venous wall. [e-aps.org]

Although the exact etiology is still controversial, many hypothesis have been proposed. [1] Due to the rarity of this condition, a high index of suspicion is required to recognize the same. [ijabmr.org]

The most common etiologies are: lymphadenopathy, parotiditis, laryngocele, branchial arc cyst, thyreoglossal tract cyst, upper mediastinal cyst [ 18, 23 ]. [omicsonline.org]

Among the venous causes of pulsatile tinnitus, the most frequently reported is benign intracranial hypertension, especially in young and obese women.8 Benign intracranial hypertension is of unknown etiology and, as its name implies, it has a benign and [mydigimag.rrd.com]

IJP is a rare condition and its epidemiologic features have not been well documented. In recent years, its incidence has increased. [e-aps.org]

Epidemiology Some studies suggest that the rate of thrombosis may be lower for Silastic (Dow Corning, Midland, MI) hemodialysis catheters inserted percutaneously than for those inserted surgically. [emedicine.medscape.com]

Epidemiology [ edit ] Lemierre's syndrome is currently rare, but was more common in the early 20th century before the discovery of penicillin. [en.wikipedia.org]

Pathophysiology The classic triad predisposing to intravascular thrombosis was described first by Virchow and includes the following: Blood vessel trauma Stasis of blood flow Hypercoagulable state In the case of central venous lines, the catheter itself [emedicine.medscape.com]

Streptococcus microaerophile, Staphylococcus aureus, Streptococcus pyogenes, and Eikenella corrodens. [6] [8] Pathophysiology [ edit ] Lemierre's syndrome begins with an infection of the head and neck region. [en.wikipedia.org]

Early diagnosis and aggressive therapeutic interventions are critical to prevent further morbidity in patients who develop cerebral vein and dural sinus thrombosis after ligation of the internal jugular vein. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Anticoagulation has been advocated to prevent extension of the thrombus to distal sinuses(27,28). However, it is rarely used now as most infections can be controlled with antibiotics and surgery, and this tends to prevent thrombus propagating. [arquivosdeorl.org.br]

It is used to remove a damaged vein and prevent complications of vein damage. If several valves in a vein and the vein itself are heavily damaged, the vein (or the diseased part of the vein) is removed (stripped). [northshore.org]

Care is taken to prevent inadvertent damage to the jugular vein or the contents of the carotid sheath. This reinforcement prevents the vein from dilating, and at the same time preserves its function. [bhj.org.in]
