Have We Forgotten the Veins?
7th March, 2026, 13:20 - 14:20
Town & Country Ballroom AB
This case based session focuses on less common pathology involving cerebral venous sinuses, veins and jugular vein as the commonly forgotten aspect of skull base and cerebrovascular surgery. Otolaryngology, orbital surgeons, and neurosurgery trainees and experts will benefit from discussion of common presentations of uncommon problems and their surgical therapy.
Objectives
At the conclusion of this session, attendees will be able to:
- Identify `dangerous` veins responsible for potential postoperative complications of skull base surgery and include them in preoperative planning.
- Recognize meningiomas involving major venous sinuses can and occasionally should be treated surgically.
- Illustrate the role of open surgery in treatment of dural arteriovenous fistula.
- Recognize, diagnose and treat jugular venous compression/outflow obstruction at the skull base.
