Description
Jarett E Prince and colleagues review two centuries of penetrating wounds to a major brain vein in a 2026 article. Injuries to the superior sagittal sinus are rare but can bleed massively and raise pressure inside the skull. Guidance has stayed scattered across old and new case reports.
Searches of four databases gathered 39 articles covering 51 cases from 1826 to 2025. Nearly all patients were men, and military harm, accidents, and suicide attempts led the causes, with nails and bone pieces as common objects. Repair choices ranged from clotting agents and grafts to tying off the vein. About one quarter of patients died.
