title: MRI findings in isolated spontaneous thrombosis of the superior ophthalmic vein.
abstract: We report the case of a 40-year-old woman with systemic lupus erythematosus who presented with spontaneous thrombosis of the superior ophthalmic vein resulting in permanent vision loss. The diagnosis was established by noncontrast CT scanning, gadolinium-enhanced MRI, and conventional catheter angiography.
