Seventeen patients were found to have involvement of the dural venous sinuses on magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). In 7, there was tumor invasion through the dural coverings and in 10 thrombosis occurred as a result of various causes. MRI shows tumor in the sinus as a signal producing mass replacing the normal hypointensity of rapidly flowing blood. Disruption of the hypointense leaves of the enveloping dura is also well shown by MRI. Intravascular clotting, whether in the chemical state of deoxyhemoglobin or intra- or extracellular methemoglobin can be characterized by MRI operating at high field (1.5 tesla). MRI is now the non-invasive diagnostic modality of choice in evaluation of the dural venous sinuses.

D001932 Brain Neoplasms Neoplasms of the intracranial components of the central nervous system, including the cerebral hemispheres, basal ganglia, hypothalamus, thalamus, brain stem, and cerebellum. Brain neoplasms are subdivided into primary (originating from brain tissue) and secondary (i.e., metastatic) forms. Primary neoplasms are subdivided into benign and malignant forms. In general, brain tumors may also be classified by age of onset, histologic type, or presenting location in the brain.
