Understanding vein changes after brain or spine surgery
Part of Blood & lymphatic, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study uses MRI scans to see how veins near the skull base change after surgery. It may help doctors better plan future surgeries.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.

- You are 18 years or older
- You had surgery on the back of the brain or upper spine at Brest University Hospital
- You had an MRI with contrast dye after surgery
- You are willing to have your MRI reviewed for this study
- You are not pregnant, breastfeeding, or allergic to the MRI dye

This study looks at how MRI findings match what doctors see in brain tissue after treatment for a type of severe stroke. It may help researchers better understand which brain changes happen early and how decompressive surgery affects them.
This study uses MRI scans to look at how fluid drainage and white matter are affected in people with narrowed or blocked veins in the brain. It aims to understand if these vein problems harm the brain's natural cleaning system.
This study uses repeated MRI scans to measure how blood flow to the brain changes over time in people with certain neurosurgical conditions. It aims to better understand brain circulation changes, which may help doctors plan care more effectively.
This pilot study uses an MRI scan that involves an injected contrast to look at how brain blood-flow pathways are being blocked or narrowed. The goal is to better understand the kind of damage caused by these vein problems, which may help doctors monitor and plan care.
This study looks at how MRI pictures can show the brain nerve pathways in adults with a skull-base tumor that needs surgery. The goal is to improve surgical planning and outcomes by better mapping what areas the surgery will affect.
This study looks at how changes in blood flow (called venous congestion) after heart surgery might affect thinking and memory. It aims to find out if there is a link between how blood returns to the heart and brain function after surgery.
