Jugular vein thrombosis treatment prognosis

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare cerebrovascular disease that can occur at any age and generally has a good prognosis. Polycythemia vera and nephrotic syndrome are uncommon risk factors for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. A dilemma exists in the treatment of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis with polycythemia vera and nephrotic syndrome, as some cases are refractory to first-line therapy. Here, we report a patient with CVST who presented with a generalized seizure and was found to have bilateral frontal lobe hemorrhage and subarachnoid hemorrhage...

Objectives: We aimed to investigate the clinical features of upper extremity deep vein thrombosis (UEDVT). Methods: We retrospectively reviewed the background, thrombus site, treatment, and outcome of 76 UEDVT patients. Results: Of the 76 UEDVT patients, 44 (57.9%) were men, and 51 (67.1%) were complicated by malignancy, 44 (57.9%) had an indwelling central vein (CV) catheter, 8 (10.5%) had concomitant pulmonary embolization (PE), and 33 (43.3%) were symptomatic. Regarding the thrombus site, the right internal jugular vein was the most common, with 30 cases (35...

Lemierre syndrome (LS) is a rare, life-threatening complication of oropharyngeal infections associated with septicemia and internal jugular thrombosis. Internal jugular vein thrombosis is an uncommon disease associated with central vein catheterization, intravenous drug abuse, hypercoagulability, trauma to the neck, infection, ovarian hyperstimulation syndrome (OHSS), and systemic infections. Here, we highlight a case of a 62-year-old women who presented progressively worsening neck swelling for three weeks, shortness of breath, and fever for four days...

Recently, due to the development of medical imaging technology, diseases related to the venous reflux disorders of head and neck have gradually attracted attention. Cerebral Venous Disease Branch of the Chinese Stroke Association developed "Chinese expert consensus on the diagnosis and treatment of venous reflux disorders of head and neck" after repeated discussions covering recent domestic and international advances. The consensus combines the available medical evidence and clinical practice experience, describes three most common types of venous reflux disorders of head and neck, including cerebral venous thrombosis, venous sinus stenosis and internal jugular vein stenosis, systematically summarizes the etiology and risk factors, clinical manifestations, diagnosis and evaluation, treatment and prognosis, and puts forward 71 recommendations, thereby providing the reference for relevant clinicians and researchers...

Objective: Extracorporeal membrane oxygenation (ECMO) is a widely used treatment for circulatory and pulmonary support in newborns and young children. Over the past decade, the number of children successfully treated with ECMO has gradually increased. However, despite an increasing number of survivors, new morbidity and long-term health issues are becoming more prevalent. A better understanding of the pediatric ECMO prognosis contributes to improved treatment and care programs and minimizes the risk of sequelae and dysfunctions...

INTRODUCTION: The internal jugular vein thrombosis is usually due to intravenous drug abuse, prolonged central venous catheterization or deep head-neck infections or trauma. Related malignancies, or inflammatory etiologies are described. Our case is interesting by the ingestion of a sewing needle that passes from the pharynx to the internal jugular vein via migration, leading to life-threatening complications: deep neck space infection and internal jugular vein thrombosis. CASE REPORT: We report a case of a 40 years old patient, for acute cervical cellulitis in a context of odynophagia and fever, a CT scan revealed a jugular vein thrombosis, penetrated by a metal density foreign body...

Lemierre's syndrome is a rare and potentially life-threatening condition that follows an oropharyngeal infection, typically from Fusobacterium necrophorum, and usually affects healthy adolescents or young adults. The characteristic features are septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein and septic embolism leading to multiorgan involvement, commonly the brain, lungs and bones. We report a man with presenting symptoms suggesting hemicrania continua, whose initial imaging showed no features of dural venous sinus or jugular thrombosis...

INTRODUCTION: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) can rarely present with cranial neuropathies other than abducent nerve palsy. The authors report a case and review the literature for nonabducent cranial neuropathies in CVST. CASE REPORT: A 22-year-old woman with a history of oral contraceptive use developed right-sided headache, blurred vision, and dizziness for 4 days. Magnetic resonance venogram showed complete thrombosis of the right transverse sinus, sigmoid sinus, and internal jugular vein, and partial thrombosis of the superior sagittal sinus, left transverse sinus, and superior part of the left internal jugular vein...

BACKGROUND: Managing thrombosis in rare sites is challenging. Existing studies and guidelines provide detailed explanations on how to overcome lower-limb thromboses and pulmonary embolisms, but few studies have examined thrombosis in rare sites. Lack of data makes clinical practice heterogeneous. Recommendations for diagnosing, treating, and following-up internal jugular vein thrombosis are not clearly defined and mostly based on adapted guidelines for lower-limb thrombosis. CASE PRESENTATION: A 52-year-old Caucasian woman came to the Emergency Department with chest, neck, and left arm pain...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Septic cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) is a rare, life-threatening disease with infectious thrombosis causing associated complications resulting in high morbidity and mortality. We report a series of CST patients with assessment of arterial and intracranial complications. METHODS: We used the radiology database from a large, academic tertiary care center to collect all patients treated with CST between 2002 and 2019. Patient demographics, source of infection, treatment course and outcomes were evaluated...

BACKGROUND: Portal vein (PV) reconstruction is an important surgical skill for living donor liver transplantation (LDLT), especially for patients with portal vein thrombosis (PVT). However, this technique remains a critical problem in LDLT because of technical demands and requirements for appropriate venous graft harvesting. This study aimed to evaluate the surgical procedure used for PV reconstruction and outcomes in LDLT recipients with PVT. METHODS: Between March 2002 and December 2018, 128 adult LDLTs were performed...

Lemièrre's syndrome (LS) is an uncommon disease characterized by septic thrombophlebitis of the jugular vein in the context of otorhinolaryngologic infections. These patients are often young and the pharyngotonsillar infection is the most frequent primary focus, but other foci like acute otitis media or otomastoiditis have been described. Although the internal jugular vein is the most commonly affected site, a few case reports have been published with thrombosis of other veins, such as the facial vein or transverse sinus...

Inflammatory bowel disease (IBD) is a well-recognized risk factor for thrombotic events in adults but data on children are scarce. In the great majority of adult patients, thrombotic events are usually deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. Other sites such as jugular veins are extremely rare. We present a case of Lemierre syndrome in an adolescent girl with active ulcerative colitis and discuss possible risk factors. This is the first reported case of severe Lemierre syndrome with thrombus extension to cranial veins in a patient with ulcerative colitis...

RATIONALE: Perimesencephalic nonaneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage (PNSAH) is characterized by a pattern of extravasated blood restricted to the perimesencephalic cisterns, normal angiographic findings, and an excellent prognosis with an uneventful course and low risks of complication. The precise etiology of bleeding in patients with PNSAH has not yet been established. The most common hypothesis is that PNSAH is venous in origin. Intracranial venous hypertension has been considered as the pivotal factor in the pathogenesis of PNSAH...

INTRODUCTION: The objective is to report a rare tumour of the sinonasal tract and conduct a literature review. Malignant triton tumour is a subtype of malignant schwannoma with rhabdomyoblastic differentiation. It is a very rare tumour, with only 15 reported cases involving the sinonasal region. PRESENTATION OF CASE: Forty-seven years old female presented with a right-sided epistaxis, progressive right sided nasal obstruction and anosmia and a visible mass in the right nasal cavity...

OBJECTIVE: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare cerebral vascular disease. Early diagnosis and treatments are crucial for a better prognosis. This study investigated the clinical characteristics and risk factors associated with the prognosis of patients with CyST. METHODS: From Jan 2009 to Jan 2013, patients who were admitted to the Department of Neurology of West China Hospital with confirmed CVST (according to the 2006 guideline of European neurology with neuroimaging when necessary) were consecutively recruited...

PATIENT: Male, 25 FINAL DIAGNOSIS: Lemierre's disease Symptoms: Back pain • fever • headache • tachycardia • tachypnoe MEDICATION: - Clinical Procedure: - Specialty: Infectious Diseases. OBJECTIVE: Rare disease. BACKGROUND: Lemierre's disease, also known as the forgotten disease, postanginal sepsis, or necrobacillosis, was first reported in 1890 by Courmont and Cade, but it was Dr. Andre Lemierre, a professor of microbiology, who described this disease in 1936...

BACKGROUND: Most recent Chest 2008 guidelines counsel at least 3 months of anticoagulation for acute upper-extremity deep venous thrombosis (UEDVT). These guidelines are inconsistently followed, perhaps owing to relatively limited information regarding clinical outcomes among patients with UEDVT. Our institution maintains an UEDVT registry of consecutively encountered patients with sonographically confirmed UEDVT. We analyzed patient characteristics, treatment, and outcomes among these patients...

OBJECTIVE: This study reviews the results of en bloc resection of the inferior vena cava (IVC) for malignant tumor excision and reconstruction. METHODS: A prospective database was reviewed. IVC resection was categorized as suprarenal, perirenal, infrarenal, or extensive (>one segment resected). Repairs were divided into primary, patch, or circumferential. Tumor type, perioperative morbidity, mortality, and graft patency were recorded. RESULTS: Between 1990 and 2011, 47 patients (21 women; mean age, 56; range, 35-89 years) underwent IVC resection for en bloc tumor excision...
