- vertical tortuosity of the optic nerves
- enlargement of the subarachnoid space around the optic nerves
- flattening of the posterior sclera bilaterally
- slight protrusion of the optic nerve head on the right
- Partially empty sella turcica
- the MRV 2D-TOF MRV shows a hypoplastic left transverse and sigmoid sinuses and stenosis in distal portion of the right transverse sinus
- no mass lesion is seen at the infra- or supratentorial level.
Case Discussion
The MRI features suggest an idiopathic intracranial hypertension.
