Age: Adult

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

A small right-sided extradural hemorrhage, limited posteriorly by the temporooccipital suture, can be seen elevating the distal transverse sinus and is almost certainly due to venous bleeding.
