“…Häufig ist die Ätiologie in fetalen Fällen idiopathisch bzw. Folge einer lokalen strukturellen Gefäßanomalie, die zu Flussstörungen führen kann [30]. Bei Kindern und Erwachsenen werden Trauma, Polyzythämie, Infektionen oder Hyperkoagulabilität zu den Ursachen gezählt [34].…”

“…It occurs between the second and third trimester in otherwise uncom-plicated pregnancies [29,33]. In most fetal cases the etiology is idiopathic or can be due to a local vascular structural anomaly causing local flow disturbance [30], but in infants and adults trauma, polycythemia, infection or hypercoagulable state were reported as etiologic factors [34].…”

The study of the intracerebral venous system in the fetus can only be achieved by means of high-resolution ultrasound equipment with sensitive color Doppler. In the past two decades, there has been a growing interest in the ultrasound examination of the fetal brain with few studies reporting on the brain vasculature during various stages of gestation. In comparison to other fetal venous systems, reports on the assessment of the fetal cerebral venous system are still scarce. This article presents a review on the fetal intracranial venous system with detailed discussions on the anatomy of the superficial and deep cerebral veins. Color Doppler of the main fetal cerebral veins to include the superior sagittal sinus, the straight sinus, the vein of Galen, the internal cerebral veins, the transverse sinuses and others is also discussed. Furthermore, this article highlights abnormal clinical conditions such as aneurysm of the vein of Galen, thrombosis of the dural sinus and variation in the course of some veins such as the straight sinus and falcine sinus. The role of pulsed Doppler examination in normal and growth-restricted fetuses is also discussed.

Fetal dural sinus thrombosis: A systematic review

et al. 2020

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Introduction Fetal dural sinus thrombosis (DST) is a rare condition. Although numerous case reports exist, the findings appear heterogenous and providing accurate patient counselling remains challenging. Methods A systematic literature review was conducted in accordance with PRISMA guidance. Results Thirty‐one studies including 78 patients were included in this review. No association with maternal or neonatal coagulopathy, infection or trauma was found. The average gestational age at diagnosis was 25 weeks (range 17–34 weeks). Approximately half of foetuses affected were female (48.7%); one quarter were male (25.6%) and one quarter had no sex stated (25.6%). Termination of pregnancy was chosen in 25.6% of cases (20/78). In continuing pregnancies,10.3% (6/58) experienced a perinatal death. Antenatally, the majority of lesions either decreased in size (38.5%) or completely resolved (32.7%). The neonatal or childhood outcome was normal in 88.0% of survivors (44/50). The average age at follow up was 16.4 months, ranging from birth to 6 years. Conclusion This review found that 10% of DST cases experience in‐utero or neonatal death. In survivors, the majority of cases reduce in size or completely resolve in pregnancy and 85% are reported to have a good outcome. However, further evidence is needed regarding long‐term neurocognitive sequelae.
