| description | A 45-year-old man presented with headache for two days. He described the quality of headache as throbbing, and it was unilateral. There was no history of fever, vomiting, blurred vision, ear discharge or trauma, no relevant past medical or drug history and no family history of note. On examination, he was afebrile with pulse 76/min, regular, blood pressure of 130/80mmHg. His pupils and speech appeared normal. There were no papilledema, sensory deficit, focal neurological deficit or signs of meningeal irritation. Hyperdensity of right transverse sinus (Figure 1) and superior sagittal sinus was identified on unenhanced computed tomography (CT). Magnetic resonance venography (MRV) demonstrated lack of flow in right transverse sinus (Figure 2) and superior sagittal sinus. |
