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.
