Note: This case has been tagged as "legacy" as it no longer meets image preparation and/or other case publication guidelines.

Although there was only weak flow signal in the left transverse and sigmoid sinus on MR venography, contrast-enhanced T1-weighted images showed a broad band of contrast enhancement in the left transverse sinus, suggesting an organized clot.
