Prior efforts at experimental production of superior sagittal sinus (SSS) thrombosis generally have been unsuccessful. An experimental method was devised of inducing SSS thrombosis in the dog by use of double-lumen balloon catheters. Two balloon catheters, introduced into each internal jugular vein, are finally positioned at the torcular Herophili. The resulting stasis in the SSS, initiated by ...

Thrombosis We read with great interest the article by Boukobza et al reporting the usefulness of the T2 gradient-echo (T2*) sequence in making the diagnosis of isolated cortical vein thrombosis. In substance, the authors claim that magnetic susceptibility effect (MSE) is always visible, regardless of the age of the thrombi in the veins.
