Hypodense cerebral venous sinus thrombosis on unenhanced CT: A potential pitfall. Report of a case and review of the literature
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is an uncommon disorder that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent serious complications. Due to the broad spectrum of clinical presentations, patients typically undergo noncontrast CT as the first imaging study. The classical description of cerebal veno...

description | Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is an uncommon disorder that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment to prevent serious complications. Due to the broad spectrum of clinical presentations, patients typically undergo noncontrast CT as the first imaging study. The classical description of cerebal venous sinus thrombosis on noncontrast CT is a hyperdense thrombus within the dural venous sinus. We report an unusual case of a hypodense cerebral venous sinus thrombosis on unenhanced CT imaging. It is important for radiologists to be aware of this atypical appearance that to our knowledge has not been previously published. |
