| | THE JUGULAR FORAMEN LESIONS |
 | | The choice of the most appropriate surgical approach to a particular lesion in a particular patient has to be individualized and is dictated by the morphology of the lesion and the surgeon’s experience and preference. | | | The jugular foramen lesions are rare in clinical practice. | | | The surgical approaches used for JF lesions, although not always directed primarily to the jugular foramen, include the suboccipital retrosigmoid, presigmoid and transsigmoid, retrolabyrinthine and translabyrithine, transcochlear and subcochlear, trans-supra and juxtacondylar, far lateral suboccipital, lateral skull base, infratemporal fossa and middle cranial fossa approaches. |

| | DAN Divers Alert Network : Patent Foramen Ovale |
| | What we do have is some preliminary data suggesting that patent foramen ovale may result in the bends in some individuals. | | | One issue which needs explanation is that whereas 10 to 20 percent of the normal population may have patent foramen ovale, less than 0.1 percent of divers get the bends. | | | Recently, there has been interest in the anatomic variant of normal in the human heart: It is termed patent foramen ovale (PFO - pronounced PAY-tent fore-A-men O-val-eh), and through research, DAN is exploring its possible importance for scuba divers. |

| | eMedicine - Patent Foramen Ovale : Article by Sandy Shah, DO |
| | When patent foramen ovale is associated with an otherwise unexplained neurologic event, traditional treatment has been antiplatelet (ie, aspirin) therapy alone in low-risk patients or combined with warfarin in high-risk individuals to prevent cryptogenic stroke. | | | Surgical therapy: Although relatively simple, surgical therapy is invasive, costly, and painful, and is associated with all the usual risks of cardiac surgery. | | | This difference is probably due to the ability to directly visualize patent foramen ovale on autopsy study, while contrast echocardiography relies on detection of secondary physiologic phenomena. |

| | Radiographic evidence of tonsillar ectopia in the absence of a convincing clinical picture was not sufficient to prescribe surgical therapy. | | | The absence of a csf signal dorsal to the ectopic cerebellar tonsils, or distortion of the brain stem, cervical spinal cord or cerebellar tonsils was taken as evidence of physical compression of the contents of the foramen magnum. | | | Despite the minimal degree of tonsillar ectopia, our patients reported improvement in symptoms in response to surgical enlargement of the foramen magnum. |

| | The impact of patent foramen ovale closure on headache frequency and headache impact on daily life was investigated using the Headache Impact Test (HIT-6). | | | If their study ultimately confirms that there is an increased risk for ischemic brain lesions in patients with migraine related to patent foramen ovale, Dr. Schwerzmann said, “then I guess the next step would really have to be a randomized study of patent foramen ovale closure in migraine patients. | | | The study is still ongoing, Dr. Schwerzmann noted, with more patients being enrolled, but an interim report showed that a patent foramen ovale was present on TEE in 25 of 57 patients with migraine with aura (44%) and nine of 55 controls (odds ratio, 4.0). |

| | Patent Foramen Ovale |
| | Patent Foramen Ovale is not a disease, but only a remains of the anatomy of the heart before birth (picture). | | | Before being born, the lungs have no function in oxygenating the blood (because the fetus is immersed in water), and all the oxygen is transported via the umbilical blood vessels, from the placenta. | | | While this has absolutely no consequences in normal life, this opening may permit nitrogen bubbles to pass from the right to the left side of the heart, leading to decompression sickness. |
