From: Cortical vein thrombosis in adult patients of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis correlates with poor outcome and brain lesions: a retrospective study

Fig. 1

Typical images of the concomitant cortical vein thrombosis on CT and CT venography in a 61-year-old male patient with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. Non-enhanced CT reveals multiple hemorrhages in bilateral frontal and parietal lobes (a). Cord-like (b, white arrowheads) and dot-like (b, hollow white arrow) hyperdensity (representing acute thrombosis) in the sites of cortical veins can be observed in non-enhanced CT. Non-enhanced CT also reveals the cord-like hyperdensity in the site of superior sagittal sinus (b, black arrows). On the source images of CT venography (c), filling defects of contrast agent can be detected in the sites of cortical veins (white arrowheads and hollow white arrow) and superior sagittal sinus (black arrows)
