Understanding vein changes after brain or neck surgery
Part of Bones, joints & muscles, Brain & nervous system clinical trials.
This study looks at how veins in the neck area change after surgery at the back of the brain or upper neck. It may help doctors better understand recovery and plan future treatments.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years or older
- You had surgery at the back of the brain or upper neck at Brest University Hospital
- You had an MRI with contrast dye (gadolinium) after surgery
- You are not pregnant or breastfeeding
- You can have an MRI (no metal implants, no claustrophobia, no allergy to contrast dye)

Other trials that look related to this one.
This study checks whether placing a small tube in a neck vein changes pressure inside the skull or blood flow in the brain. It uses a simple eye ultrasound to measure these changes during surgery, which could help doctors watch for brain pressure issues safely.
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 the brain's waste-clearing system (glymphatic function) and white matter are affected in people with cerebral venous disorders (either narrowing or blood clots in the brain's veins). It aims to improve understanding of these conditions, which may lead to better treatments.
This study tests whether repairing veins during head and neck cancer surgery helps prevent lymphedema (painful swelling) after treatment. It may help patients who are having lymph node removal and will receive radiation afterward.
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 uses special MRI scans after injecting a harmless dye into the fluid around the brain and spine. It helps doctors see how that fluid moves and drains, which may improve understanding of conditions like Alzheimer's.
