Decreased Superior Sagittal Sinus Diameter and Jugular Bulb Narrowing Are Associated with Poor Clinical Outcome in Vein of Galen Arteriovenous Malformation

摘要

Few clinical and imaging findings are known to be associated with poor outcome in neonates and infants with vein of Galen arteriovenous malformations. In the present consecutive series of 35 patients, we evaluated both the diameter of the superior sagittal sinus at onset and the diameter of the jugular bulb on follow-up as potential factors related to poor outcome.
