Diffusion- and Perfusion-Weighted MR Imaging of Dural Sinus Thrombosis
AJNR 21:68-73, Manzione,J.,et al, 2000
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
A patients with dural sinus thrombosis had progressively worsening symptoms and signs that resolved after intradural thrombolysis. Intradural sinus pressures were 54 mm Hg. Echo-planar MR imaging revealed complex abnormalities of diffusio n and widespread delay in mean transit time that improved immediately after thrombolysis. This case suggests that diffusion- and perfusion-weighted imaging can provide valuable information noninvasively to help triage patients with dural sinus thrombosis between conservative and aggressive management.
