[Arteriosinus anastomoses of the posterior cranial fossa (pathologic anatomy)]. 1985

T M Vikhert, and P I Padalko

Postmortem examination of the brain of 10 patients with occipito-sinus anastomoses showed that the morphological basis of this vascular pathology is an anatomical developmental defect of vessels of the system of the external and internal carotid arteries and dura mater sinuses with disturbed histological structure of their walls. Severe abnormality of calcium metabolism of the type of systemic calciphilaxis with involvement of the brain and viscera is encountered simultaneously in some cases. The combination of these pathological processes leads finally to gradually increasing circulatory disorders, brain hypoxia, and severe damage to the brain matter.

D002538	Intracranial Arteriovenous Malformations	Congenital vascular anomalies in the brain characterized by direct communication between an artery and a vein without passing through the CAPILLARIES. The locations and size of the shunts determine the symptoms including HEADACHES; SEIZURES; STROKE; INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES; mass effect; and vascular steal effect.

D003388	Cranial Fossa, Posterior	The infratentorial compartment that contains the CEREBELLUM and BRAIN STEM. It is formed by the posterior third of the superior surface of the body of the sphenoid (SPHENOID BONE), by the occipital, the petrous, and mastoid portions of the TEMPORAL BONE, and the posterior inferior angle of the PARIETAL BONE.

D003392	Cranial Sinuses	Large endothelium-lined venous channels situated between the two layers of DURA MATER, the endosteal and the meningeal layers. They are devoid of valves and are parts of the venous system of dura mater. Major cranial sinuses include a postero-superior group (such as superior sagittal, inferior sagittal, straight, transverse, and occipital) and an antero-inferior group (such as cavernous, petrosal, and basilar plexus).
