A 31 year old woman presented with the worst headache of her life and was diagnosed with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) by routine unenhanced computed tomography (CT) scan, subsequently confirmed with magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance venography (MRV). Awareness of this less common cause for acute neurological presentation in the Emergency setting is important; the imaging characteristics of CVST are reviewed.
一名31岁女性因一生中最严重的头痛前来就诊,通过常规非增强计算机断层扫描(CT)被诊断为脑静脉窦血栓形成(CVST),随后经磁共振成像(MRI)和磁共振静脉造影(MRV)得以确诊。认识到这种在急诊环境中导致急性神经症状的不太常见病因很重要;本文对CVST的影像学特征进行了综述。
