Abstract:
The cerebral venous sinuses in the past have been relatively neglected during radiological, neurological, and neurosurgical scientific discourse. However modern imaging and radiological approaches to treatment are demonstrating that far from being rare, the cerebral venous sinuses are involved in the pathogenesis of a protean list of ailments. During the review we hope to illustrate the imaging of diseases of the cerebral venous sinuses as demonstrated on multislice computer tomography and magnetic resonance imaging.
