Depiction of the Superior Petrosal Vein Complex by 3D Contrast-Enhanced MR Angiography

摘要

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Intraoperative obliteration of the superior petrosal vein complex has a relevant risk of postoperative complications. A large venous diameter and the absence of anastomoses have been previously suggested as possible risk factors. 3D contrast-enhanced MRA was evaluated for the identification of superior petrosal vein anatomy.
