Use of Muscle Graft for Hemostasis in a Traumatic Transverse Sinus Injury Following a Motorcycle Accident: A Neurosurgical Case Report.

Injury to the dural venous sinuses poses a risk for significant hemorrhage and air embolism during surgery. The objectives for this case report are to describe the challenges of a traumatic transverse sinus injury following a motorcycle accident, demonstrate the use of a macerated autologous muscle graft for achieving hemostasis in a venous sinus defect, and highlight key considerations in the perioperative management and postoperative outcomes of patients with cerebral venous sinus injuries. The report describes the surgical intervention and use of macerated muscle tissue for hemostasis of a traumatic transverse sinus injury in a 39-year-old male due to a motorcycle accident. The injury to the sinus is due to an avulsed cortical vein, causing a round defect on the sinus wall. It discusses the technique to repair the sinus and its mechanism. The patient's postoperative course, recovery, and the rationale behind the chosen surgical approach are discussed as well.
