Computed tomography of dural sinus thrombosis.

A L Goldberg, A E Rosenbaum, H Wang

    Journal of Computer Assisted Tomography
    |January 1, 1986
    PubMed
    Summary

    Contrast enhanced CT is valuable for diagnosing dural sinus thrombosis. Advanced CT techniques improve visualization and serial evaluation of this condition.

    Area of Science:

    • Radiology
    • Neurology
    • Vascular Imaging

    Background:

    • Dural sinus thrombosis (DST) is a rare but serious condition affecting venous drainage in the brain.
    • Early diagnosis and monitoring are crucial for effective patient management.

    Observation:

    • This study presents four cases of DST in diverse patient populations: young women using oral contraceptives, a patient with mastoiditis, and a post-hip surgery patient.
    • The cases highlight the utility of contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) for both initial diagnosis and follow-up assessments.

    Findings:

    • Advanced CT imaging techniques, including thin-section scanning, multiplanar reconstruction, and direct coronal views, enhance the detection of DST, particularly in deep venous structures and lateral sinuses.
    • Sequential CT scans provided valuable insights into the disease progression and response to treatment (barbiturate coma) in two patients.

    Implications:

    • Contrast-enhanced CT, with optimized imaging protocols, is a key tool for diagnosing and monitoring dural sinus thrombosis.
    • Improved understanding of DST through advanced imaging aids in clinical decision-making and treatment strategies.
