Front 9

where does the superior sagittal sinus run? what does it lie within?

Back 9

from the foramen cecum anteriorly to the confluence of sinuses posteriorly and lying w/n the attached margin of the falx cerebri.

Front 10

in about 60% of cases, what does the superior sagittal sinus empty into?

Back 10

confluence of sinuses in the area of the right transverse sinus

Front 11

where does the inferior sagittal sinus lie? where does it empty into?

Back 11

posterior portion of the free margin of the falx cerebri and empties into the straight sinus.

Front 12

what forms the straight sinus? where is it formed?

Back 12

formed by the joining of the great cerebral vein and the inferior sagittal sinus. Formed at the junction of the falx cerebri and tentorium cerebelli.

Front 13

where does the occipital sinus run? where does it empty into?

Back 13

runs from external occipital protuberance down thru the foramen magnum formed w/n the attached falx cerebelli. It empties into the confluence of sinuses

Front 14

what is the circular sinus made up of? what does it encircle and empty into?

Back 14

made up of 2 cavernous sinuses just behind the eyes and their communicating branches. It encircles the hypophysis and empties into the superior and inferior petrosal sinuses b/l

Front 15

where does the basilar plexus lie and what does it join?

Back 15

lies over the SBJ and joins the circular sinus w/ internal vertebral plexus.

Front 16

what are the 6 midline venous sinuses?

Back 16

-superior and inferior sagittal sinus
- straight sinus
-occipital sinus
-circular sinus
-basilar plexus

Front 17

where do the transverse sinuses run? what do they become?

Back 17

they run laterally from the confluence of sinuses (at inion) at the internal occipital protuberance. Each sinus becomes a sigmoid sinus in the area of the mastoid portion of the temporal bone--> continues toward the jugular foramen and internal jugular vein.

Front 18

where do the cavernous sinuses lie? where do they receive venous flow from? what do they contain?

Back 18

lie on each side of the body of the sphenoid.
venous flow is received from the ophthalmic vein, superficial middle cerebral vein and sphenoparietal sinus.
the sinuses contain the carotid artery, abducent, oculomotor, trochlear, ophthalmic division of the trigeminal nerves.

Front 19

where do the superior petrosal sinsuses lie? where do they run?

Back 19

w/n the margin of the tentorium cerebelli and runs along the petrous ridge of the temporal bone from the cavernous sinus to the transverse sinus.

Front 20

where do the inferior petrosal sinsuses run? what do they connect?

Back 20

runs in the groove in the suture between the petrous portion of the temporal bone and the occipital bone. it connects the cavernous sinus to the internal jugular vein.

Front 21

what are the 6 indications for venous sinus technique?

Back 21

headaches
sinus congestion
reduce compression at the sphenobasilar jxn
reduce compression at many cranial sutures
augment endocrine fxn
improve overall cerebral fxn.

Front 22

what structure related to endocrine function surrounds the stalk of the pituitary?

Back 22

diaphragma sella

Front 23

what nerve innervated the dura?

Back 23

CN V

Front 24

what are the 9 relative contraindications for venous sinus technique?

Back 24

Recent trauma with suspected significant or serious injury to the brain, blood vessels, cranium, or other related structures.
Certain infections such as meningitis or encephalitis.
Elevated intracranial pressure.
Cerebral edema.
Recent shunt surgery or neurosurgery. <3 months
Recent stroke. <3 months
Brain or other intracranial tumor.
Congenital malformations.
Other potential conditions not treatable with OMT

Front 25

what are the 6 steps of the venous sinus technique tx?

Back 25

Confluence of sinuses (inion*)
Occipital sinuses (supraocciput)
Occipital condylar decompression
Transverse sinuses (external occipital protuberance)
Straight sinus (bregma and inion)
Sagittal Sinus (sagittal and metopic sutures)

Front 26

define inion

Back 26

a point located on the external occipital protuberance at the intersection of the midline with a line drawn tangent to the uppermost convexity of the right and left superior nuchal lines.

Front 27

where are the two middle fingers located during the confluence of sinuses step?

Back 27

tip to tip with the pads on the external occipital protuberance (inion)

Front 28

where are the fingers located during the occipital sinuses step?

Back 28

finger's width midline on the occipital bone

Front 29

where are the fingers located during the occipital condylar decompression step?

Back 29

at the angle of the condyles. Toward the foramen magnum

- take the condyle towards the table and a little lateral

Front 30

where are the fingers located during the transverse sinuses step?

Back 30

along the external occipital protuberal transversely. Do not go any further anterior than the mastoid process

where is the origin for the sagittal sinus step? what is the movement of this step?

Back 32

anterior of lambda. thumbs are crossed and apply a gentle separating force across the sagittal suture. Continue moving the thumbs anterior to go the length of the sagittal suture.
