title: Congested deep subcortical veins as a sign of dural venous thrombosis: MR and CT correlations.
abstract: Dural venous thrombosis can have a rapidly progressive fatal course if unrecognized; its clinical picture is often confusing. Numerous CT, magnetic resonance (MR), and angiographic findings have been described to help recognize this entity. We present a case of dilated transcerebral medullary veins as a sign of superior satittal sinus thrombosis with CT and MR correlation.
