Radionuclide brain scan findings in superior sagittal sinus thrombosis. 1978

B R Williamson, and C D Teates, and S T Bray, and H O Riddervold, and R F Lees, and J A Wakefield

Superior sagittal sinus thrombosis is a serious condition requiring early diagnosis. This paper presents our experience with two cases and describes the findings. In one case radionuclide brain imaging was the first study performed. In the other, the diagnosis was made at arteriography with scanning used for follow-up.

D011877 Radionuclide Imaging The production of an image obtained by cameras that detect the radioactive emissions of an injected radionuclide as it has distributed differentially throughout tissues in the body. The image obtained from a moving detector is called a scan, while the image obtained from a stationary camera device is called a scintiphotograph.

D003392 Cranial Sinuses Large endothelium-lined venous channels situated between the two layers of DURA MATER, the endosteal and the meningeal layers. They are devoid of valves and are parts of the venous system of dura mater. Major cranial sinuses include a postero-superior group (such as superior sagittal, inferior sagittal, straight, transverse, and occipital) and an antero-inferior group (such as cavernous, petrosal, and basilar plexus).

D012851 Sinus Thrombosis, Intracranial Formation or presence of a blood clot (THROMBUS) in the CRANIAL SINUSES, large endothelium-lined venous channels situated within the SKULL. Intracranial sinuses, also called cranial venous sinuses, include the superior sagittal, cavernous, lateral, petrous sinuses, and many others. Cranial sinus thrombosis can lead to severe HEADACHE; SEIZURE; and other neurological defects.
