Computed tomography of dural sinus thrombosis.

Acute Dural Sinus Thrombosis — Computed Tomography and Magnetic Resonance Imaging Features

Dural sinus thrombosis is a diagnosis that is not commonly thought of in the first instance by radiologists and clinicians, especially when the clinical presentation is not specific. We describe the clinical presentation of three patients with acute thrombosis of the superior sagittal sinus, the left transverse sinus, and the right cavernous sinus, respectively. Compared with computed tomograph...

Spontaneous Resolution of a Fetal Dural Sinus Thrombosis: One Case Report and Review of the Literatures

Dural sinus thrombosis with the empty delta sign.

A 43-year-old woman, presented with headache, reduced visual acuity, for 5 days and bilateral papilledema. Non-enhanced cerebral computed tomography (CT) was normal. The venous angiography-CT revealed the empty delta sign within superior sagittal, right transverse and sigmoid sinuses, characterizing sinus thrombosis (Figure). The empty delta sign is a central intraluminal filling defect, repres...

Spontaneous Intracranial Hypotension Plus Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: A Case Report Study

This is a case study of a 34-year-old woman who was admitted to hospital with a history of severe orthostatic headache. She was diagnosed as having spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) by undetectable cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure at lumbar puncture, and with evidence of diffuse dural enhancement of the brain detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the contrast-enhance...

Traumatic dural sinus thrombosis causing persistent headache in a child

Dural venous sinus thrombosis following a mild head injury is increasingly recognized. We report case of a 9-year-old male child presented with progressive headache and vomiting following a minor fall. A diagnosis of sinus venous thrombosis was suspected on nonenhancing computed tomography, and that was confirmed with magnetic resonance venography. The child was managed with intravenous fluids,...
