[Abstract] Objective: The purpose of this study was to investigate possible relationships between the asymmetry of transverse sinuses in CE-MRV and intraocular pressures of right and left eyes.Materials and Methods: In this study, subjects were 53 male and 52 female volunteers. Subjects with neurological and ophthalmologic disease, particularly dural sinus thrombosis, myopia, trauma and glaucoma, were excluded in the study. Subjects were divided into five groups according to the magnitudes of the right- and left-transverse sinuses in MR venography results. Group Ⅰ: L>>R. L significantly greater than R. Group Ⅱ: L> R, L greater than R. Group Ⅲ: L=R, the left and right sides are basically similar. Group Ⅳ: L <R, L smaller than R. Group Ⅴ : L <<R, L significantly smaller than R. The pressure of the eyes was been measured respectively.Results: The difference between percentages of subjects in group Ⅰ , Ⅱ and Ⅴ was statistically significant (P<0.05). The differences in the mean intraocular pressures of right and left eyes were statistically significant (P=0.04). There were inverse Pearson correlations between asymmetry index of transverse sinus and intraocular pressure of the right eye (r=0.51, P<0.01), but was not significant correlation between asymmetry index of transverse sinus and intraocular pressure of left eye (r=0.32, P=0.09).Conclusions: There is a relation between intraocular pressures of the right and left eyes and asymmetry of the transverse sinus. If the right transverse sinus on one side is larger and its venous drainage is greater, the intraocular pressure of the eye on this side is lower.
