Polycythemia Mimicking Venous Sinus Thrombosis
AJNR 23:1402-1403, Healy,J.F.&Nichols,C., 2002
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Venous sinus thrombosis is a relatively uncommon disorder that frequently is associated with confusing clinical findings and delayed diagnosis. Patients are often screened with unenhanced CT, and CT findings may be subtle and may include hype rattenuation of cerebral veins or venous sinuses secondary to intracranial thrombosis. This hyperattenuation may be mimicked by polycythemia, as shown in this case.
