171Dural Sinus Occlusion and Supratentorial Pial Congestion and Reflux
Fig. 3.49A–E. Legend see p. 172
3Vein of Galen Aneurysmal Malformation172
Fig. 3.49. A, B An 8-year-old boy referred to us because of VGAM and significant fa­cial collateral circulation with bilateral proptosis. C, D Angiography demonstrated a choroidal type of VGAM with bilateral occlusion of the sigmoid sinus.Reflux from the superior sagittal sinus into the cortical veins joins the cavernous sinus bilaterally and subsequently the ophthalmic veins. Several transarterial embolization procedures were performed. A significant decrease in the flow to the malformation led to a dra­matic improvement in the facial circulation. e In order to completely occlude the le­sion, a transtorcular approach with balloon occlusion of the exit to the vein of Galen was used. Following successful placement of the balloon, the child had focal subependymal vein hemorrhage with a thalamocapsular hematoma, leading to right­sided hemiplegia. Progressive improvement occurred with incomplete recovery be­fore discharge. F–I Late follow-up images demonstrated complete occlusion of the le­sion.At 19years of age, the child still presents with residual right-sided deficit

Fig. 3.50. A, B Cerebral venous drainage remodeling. Neonate male presented with mild cardiac insufficiency and secondary macrocrania from a prenatally diagnosed choroidal VGAM. Embolized at 6 months,he was clinically normal 7 years later.Bilat­eral cavernous sinus drainage and the phlebitic aspect of the cortical veins despite complete exclusion of a VGAM was noted. He presented a seizure at the age of 8 years in relation to a cortical ischemic venous event. Three-dimensional views of pseudo­phlebitic venous cortical network (C, D)
venous reflux is then demonstrated, and macrocrania may progress to hydrocephalus and acute focal or diffuse damage may occur (Fig. 3.51): seizures, deficit, and hemorrhage.
Under these circumstances, emergency endovascular management should aim to balance the flow of the AV shunt to the capacity of the pos­terior outlets and functionally split the VGAM drainage from the normal cerebral one.Unfortunately,this situation is a transient stage,and its pro­gression to completion of the jugular bulb occlusion will occur if treat­ment is not undertaken immediately. The worsening of macrocrania at that stage enhances the triggers for further occlusion.The results of such urgent embolization should be rapidly clinically detectable and recogniz­able by the progressive disappearance of the facial venous collateral circulation and the normal neurological status (Fig. 3.48).
The situation is particularly unstable if the occlusion has occurred and is bilateral, even if it has been present for a few years. The clinical toler­ance is dependent on the capacity of the alternative outlets to drain the VGAM and the brain. These pathways always exist in infancy or child­hood; otherwise the condition would be rapidly fatal, similar to neonatal dural sinus malformations (see Chap. 7, this volume). The risk of hemor­rhage and venous infarction is high, as there is significant pial reflux and the VGAM has become an AVM draining into the pial venous system (Fig. 3.49). However, if the occlusion has not developed too quickly, the child may grow without acute hydrovenous failure and with progressive adaptation of the various collateral pathways.As the venous system com­pliance is reduced, transient neurological episodes (seizures or deficits) may express this fragile equilibrium of the venous drainage of the brain (Fig. 3.52). The neurological prognosis is still excellent if the treatment is started before the onset of acute symptoms. The hemodynamic goal might then be complete exclusion of the VGAM from the cerebral circu­lation.

177Dural Sinus Occlusion and Supratentorial Pial Congestion and Reflux
Fig. 3.52. A An 8-month-old boy. VGAM was diagnosed due to rapidly progressing macrocrania.Angiography demonstrated a small choroidal type of lesion with patent jugular foramen at 9 months. He was embolized 5 months and 1 year later. Although he showed no delay in neurological aquisition,at the age of 3 years he had several at­tacks of right-sided hemiplegia lasting for several hours and resolving spontaneous­ly. B, C Although partial stenosis had previously been seen, follow-up angiography demonstrated bilateral occlusion of jugular bulbs, retrograde opacification of the su­perior petrosal sinus, and pial reflux in the temporal vein and posterior fossa bilater­ally. D, E Emergency embolization was performed, and the malformation was com­pletely occluded.Two years later,the child was clinically normal. Note the spectacular stagnation of the veins (F) before treatment and their correction on the follow-up an­giogram after embolization (G)

The child presented at birth with cardiac overload responding to medical treatment. In­stability in the response led to embolization at 22 days of age.

Fig. 3.54. A, B A baby boy diagnosed at the age of 1 year with macrocrania associated with a small VGAM. Ventricular shunting was performed, and progressive sponta­neous thrombosis of the jugular bulbs was demonstrated. Neurological deficits fol­lowing ventricular shunting were found,as were seizures and mental retardation. The child was referred to us at the age of 2 years and embolized.A deficit remains and the child has a score of 1 at age 5.He also shows some psychotic behavior.C Note on MRI the various transcerebral collateral circulations bridging the cortical system to the deep venous system. Striate vein collateral circulation calcification of the region is clearly demonstrated.D see p. 180
Dural AV shunts may develop within the thrombosed portion of the sinus (Figs. 3.53,3.54). In our series, they caused no specific clinical symp­toms.They disappeared following complete obliteration of the VGAM.
The condition of bilateral jugular bulb occlusion and pial venous reflux may exist for a few years, and some children with undiag-nosed VGAM may present late with intracerebral hematomas, or subdural or subarach­noid hemorrhagic events.These are rare examples of hemorrhages seen in children or young adults with true VGAM. It is of interest to note that,af­ter approximately 5 years of age,only subacute or chronic symptoms tend to occur, as well as sequelae of already preexisting dysfunction. Failure to thrive, bone hypertrophy, mental retardation, cerebral calcifications, and some psychiatric syndromes can be noted in older children or young adults. Once the optimal therapeutic window has been missed, these symptoms can no longer be reversed, even if the lesion is obliterated.
3.13 Dural Sinus Thrombosis and Infratentorial Pial Reflux
The infratentorial consequence of the sinus occlusion is tonsillar prolapse (see Chap. 1, this volume; Fig.3.55). It is secondary to the cerebellar pial congestion and only appears in its presence.It may disappear with correc­tion of the AV shunt, provided that the prolapse has not existed for a long time (Fig. 3.56). It does not create any specific symptoms at this age. The long-term effects of this condition are unknown, since it is likely that most children that present with this complication of jugular bulb stenosis are in the worst natural history group; however, a case of a torcular dural sinus malformation in a child with a tonsillar prolapse revealed the presence of
