Talk:Great cerebral vein

message: Under your malformations section, you mention that "VGAM" is a misnomer. You don't previously mention VGAM in the article and it seems a little unclear to what you are referring here. What is VGAM? Lildevil3221 (talk) 02:03, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: VGAM is "Vein of Galen aneurysmal malformation", a variety of conditions, not arising in, but involving the great cerebral vein or the internal cerebral veins (the Galenic system, a different entity). Thanks for the pick-up. I've modified the text to clarify. Novangelis (talk) 02:37, 23 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: VGAM

message: I found an interesting article regarding blood clots in deep cerebral veins.  It's titled "Diagnosis and treatment of deep cerebral vein thrombosis" and is written by Frank Erbguth, Peter Brenner, and Gerhard Schuierer.  The article describes three cases of blood clots in the deep cerebral vein and explains how the condition was diagnosed and treated.  It also sheds light on the improvement of neurological deficits that occurred due to the thrombosis.  This article could be used to perhaps create a "Thrombosis", "Diagnosis", and "Treatment" subsection within the "Disorders and Diseases of the Vein of Galen section.

replies: text: The nomenclature is tricky. This is the "vein of Galen", not "veins of Galen" (internal cerebral veins). Any detailed entry probably belongs there (you need to be sure what vessels the article is discussing) and only the details specific to the great cerebral vein belong here. I'll check about adding a hat note to this article to reduce confusion. There may have been one in the past. Novangelis (talk) 03:07, 24 November 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Thrombosis

message: This article provides a lot of information, including VGAM diagnosis and treatment. I suggest you add it to your malformation section:“Ultrasound detection of congenital Arteriovenous aneurysm of the great cerebral vein of Galen.” By R. A. Mullaart et. all.
Also this website has a lot of valuable information on Vein of Galen Malformation. Including information on recent research, a section your article currently lacks. http://www.ucsfchildrenshospital.org/conditions/vein_of_galen_malformation/   
 
Also I suggest you include information from this article in your Disorders and Diseases of the Vein of Galen section. It is about a case study on an arteriovenous fistula, which is an unusual channel between a vein and an artery, in the great cerebral vein. “CONGENITAL ARTERIOVENOUS FISTULA WITH AN ANEURYSM OF THE GREAT CEREBRAL VEIN AND HYDROCEPHALUS TREATED SURGICALLY” by JAMES B. GIBSON et. all. 
And finally, just a spelling correction the third word in this sentence should be ‘from’:
“This comes form the inferior side of the posterior end of the corpus callosum and empties into the straight sinus located in the midline of the tentorium.” Pat Bolan (talk) 06:22, 27 November 2009 
:As above, this is not just the great cerebral vein, the topic of the article.  If you follow the link to in the article, you will find far more detail at cerebral arteriovenous malformation. An important thing about Wikipedia is BE BOLD. I fixed the typo, but you could have easily done it yourself. Novangelis (talk) 00:58, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: There are some suggestions from other uses, regarding the inclusion of great cerebral vein malformation but there is another article in wikipedia that discusses that so its up to you to decide whether you want to merge your article with theirs. Also there is another suggestion on including the effects of thrombus on the great cerebral vein; again there is another article on wikipedia on that specific topic if you want to merge this article with theirs. I you decide to do so then I recommend to look at "The handbook on Cerebral Venous thrombosis" by Karger, which is a really in depth explanation of this disorder, but it also includes information on the anatomy of the great cerebral vein. Furthermore, you can find more anomalies affecting the great cerebral vein and images of these disorders at: Transfontanellar Doppler imaging in neonates by Alain Couture, Corinne Vyrac.  Good Luck!!! Kristaqkoci (talk) 19:05, 28 November 2009 (UTC)
replies: text: Malformation refers to arteriovenous malformation. specifically.  Absence, though a malformation, is a different entity. There is an annoying level of confusing, though precise, terminology. The references provided are nice.Novangelis (talk) 00:24, 29 November 2009 (UTC)

text: Perhaps you could mention something about who Galen was in the intro of your article. I did not know who this was, and perhaps by adding a sentence that mentions who exactly this vein was named after and linking to his Wikipedia article, you could easily clear up this confusion. No additional research would be needed, although if you wanted to, there is a great deal of information about him. [|Galen at University of Virginia ].

thread_title: A Few Comments

message: I think that your anatomy section is quite good and thorough.  You have a good start on disorders and malformations but I think you can take that a but further with these few sites below:
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC1717608/ which talks about malformation and its connection to heart disease 
You can find more disorders here and look them up to find out more information
http://www.thefetus.net/page.php?id=139
This one talks about dilation of the vein and what effects that can have.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/3683708
On a technical note:
*You may want to call it Great Cerebral Vein instead of Vein of Galen because that is the title of the article (but that is not necessary, just a thought)
*You also should probably link 
**Thalamostriate and choroid veins
**pineal gland
**vein of galen in the intro and disorders sections
**the first time you use jugular vein
**jugular foreamen
**archanoid matter
**menigeal layer
**cranial venous sinuses
There are a few suggestions as to how you can continue your article.  I hope you find some of those sites helpful.  Good luck finishing this up and good start!
