Abstract:
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) rarely presents with cortical subarachnoid hemorrhage. A 54 year-old woman complained of intractable headache. Brain MR scan showed subarachnoid hemorrhage in the right parietal sulci on Fluid-Attenuated Inversion Recovery image. The venous phase of digital subtraction angiography demonstrated the thrombus and venous congestion in superior sagittal sinus and vein of Trolad. After 3 days of anticoagulation therapy, the symptoms disappeared.
