A left temporo-occipital cortical and subcortical area of low T1, high T2 and FLAIR signals with restricted diffusibility showing high DW and low ADC signal.
The left jugular vein as well as the left sigmoid and transverse sinuses appear distended with hyperintense signal within.
Left otomastoiditis with T2 prolongation.
Few left frontal subcortical and bilateral pontine small ovoid foci of bright T2 / FLAIR signals are seen.

The patient underwent MRV brain which confirmed venous sinus thrombosis. Axial T2 of the brain showed enlarging left temporo-occipital subacute hemorrhagic venous infarction.
