Figure 1.
Axial (A) and coronal (B) head CT showing a focal area of abnormal hypoattenuation in the left parietal lobe (arrows). Axial T2-FLAIR (C) and susceptibility weighted (D-E) MRI of the brain showing left parietal edema (C) and adjacent abnormally enlarged and hypointense thrombosed cortical vein (D-E, arrows). A subsequent MRI showed resolution of the cerebral edema on axial T2-FLAIR imaging (F) and normalization of the appearance of the cortical vein on susceptibility weighted images (G-H, arrows), consistent with its recanalization.
