Purpose: Few studies have investigated the influence of posture on the external jugular and diploic venous systems in the head and cranial region. In this study, we aimed to investigate the effects of posture on these systems using upright computed tomography (CT) scanning. Methods: This study retrospectively analysed an upright CT dataset from a previous prospective study. In each patient, the diameters of the vessels in three external jugular tributaries and four diploic veins were measured using CT digital subtraction venography in both supine and sitting positions. Results: Amongst the 20 cases in the original dataset, we eventually investigated 19 cases due to motion artifacts in 1 case. Compared with the supine position, most of the external jugular tributaries collapsed, and the average size significantly decreased in the sitting position (decreased by 22–49% on average). In contrast, most of the diploic veins, except the occipital diploic veins, tended to increase or remain unchanged (increased by 12–101% on average) in size in the sitting position compared with the supine position. However, the changes in the veins associated with this positional shift were not uniform; in approximately 5–30% of the cases, depending on each vein, an opposite trend was observed. Conclusion: Compared to the supine position, the contribution of external jugular tributaries to head venous drainage decreased in the sitting position, whilst most diploic veins maintained their contribution. These results could enhance our understanding of the physiology and pathophysiology of the head region in upright and sitting positions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
