Name of the Patient : Abc Xyza S. Malgaolmn / F / 27 yrs.
Referred by : Dr. Abc Xyzidhungat.
Examination : Intracranial MR Venogram.

CLINICAL PROFILE :

C/O diplopia on seeing long distance since 12 days and headaches. Also C/O puffiness of face and vomiting 13 days after delivery.
H/O delivery on 00.00.00.

EXAMINATION :

The brain was screened with the help of 5 mm thick T1 Weighted coronal and T2 Weighted axial images.

MR Venogram was also obtained.

OBSERVATION :

There is no area of altered signal intensity within the brain parenchyma.

The ventricular system is unremarkable. There is slight prominence of the cerebellar folia bilaterally. The basal cisternal spaces are unremarkable. There is no midline shift.

Subtle hyperintense signal is seen within the left transverse and the sigmoid sinus on the T1 Weighted images. Similar signal is also noted in the vein of Galen and straight sinus.

On the MRV the left transverse sinus is not visualized with narrowing of the left sigmoid sinus and this may be due to thrombosis with partial recanalization of the left transverse straight sinus and vein of Galen.





IMPRESSION :

1. Prominent cerebellar folia.

2. Non-visualization of the left transverse sinus with narrowing of the left sigmoid sinus may be due to thrombosis with partial recanalization. Altered signal in the straight sinus and vein of Galen may also suggest partial thrombosis.
