Dural Venöz Sinüsler ya da Kalvarum İçerisine Beyin Herniasyonlarının Tespitinde Yüksek Rezolüsyonlu 3T MRG Yararı

Amaç: Dural venöz sinüsler ya da kalvaryum içerisine beyin parankimi herniasyonu, nadir bir anatomik varyasyon olarak kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, geniş bir hasta rubunda, yüksek çözünürlüklü 3 Tesla Manyetik rezonans görüntüleme ile, dural venöz sinüs içerisine ve/veya kalvaryuma beyin parankimi herniasyonunun sıklığı, lokalizasyonu, klinik ve radyolojik bulgularını değerlendirmektir.

Anahtar Kelimeler:

THE UTILITY OF 3T HIGH-RESOLUTION MRI IN THE DETECTION OF BRAIN HERNIATIONS INTO THE DURAL VENOUS SINUSES OR CALVARIUM

Objective: Brain parenchyma herniation into the dural venous sinus or calvarium is considered a rare anatomical variation. The aim of this study is to evaluate the frequency, localization, and clinical and radiological findings of brain herniation into dural venous sinus and/or calvarium with high resolution 3 Tesla magnetic resonance imaging in a large group of patients.

Keywords:

meningeal herniation, arachnoid, sinus thrombosis, magnetic resonance imaging,
