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

Fig. 2

Typical images of the concomitant cortical vein thrombosis on conventional magnetic resonance imaging and contrast enhanced three dimensional-magnetization prepared rapid acquisition with gradient echo (CE-3D-MPRAGE) in a 23-year-old male patient with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. The images of T2-weighted imaging (T2WI, a) and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery (FLAIR, b) show a cord-like hyperintensity (white arrows, representing a sub-acute thrombosis) of a right cortical vein. Venous infarction can be observed on FLAIR (b). The thin-thickness images of multiplanner reconstruction based on CE-3D-MPRAGE source images reveal the filling defects of contrast agent in the superior sagittal sinus and the right sigmoid sinus (c, hollow white arrows) and in the site of the aforementioned cortical vein (d, white arrows) presenting with a cord-like hyperintensity on T2WI and FLAIR
