Background: Central venous obstruction (stenosis or occlusion) is common in patients with
renal failure on hemodialysis and may be associated with intracranial hypertension (IH) …

While central venous stenosis is a common consequence of protracted central venous
catheter use, intracardiac device transvenous leads, and central venous instrumentation, the …

The incidence of strokes in hemodialysis patients is high, often leading to neurological
disorders and a poor prognosis. 1 A stroke generally includes cerebral infarction and …

Stenoses and occlusions of central veins may occur after repeated or prolonged
catheterization for hemodialysis access [1–3]. If the draining vein of a functioning shunt is …

Background—Intracranial venous congestion is often caused by local venous thrombosis or
brain arteriovenous fistulas. Hemodialysis shunts are known to cause venous enlargement …

Central venous stenosis causing elevated intracranial pressure is a rare and potentially
reversible cause of blindness in patients undergoing hemodialysis. We present the case of a …

PURPOSE: Cerebral venous hypertension with optic nerve edema has been reported in
patients with peripheral arteriovenous hemodialysis shunts. This study aimed to estimate the …

Central venous occlusive disease secondary to chronic hemodialysis catheterization rarely
progresses to encephalopathy, cerebral infarction, and/or hemorrhage. A 59-year-old male …

Background: Venous sinus stenosis, typically at the junction of the transverse and sigmoid
sinus, is increasingly recognized as a contributor to the pathophysiology of idiopathic …

Patients on long-term hemodialysis undergo multiple interventions, including insertion of
central catheters and arteriovenous anastomoses for creation of vascular access. The need …
