Bilateral hypoplastic transverse and sigmoid sinuses with persistent occipital sinuses.
Case Discussion
The occipital sinus is the smallest of all cerebral dural venous sinuses. It can be seen in about 10% of the normal population. It may be unilateral, bilateral, solitary, duplicated, or composed of a mesh of venous collaterals.
It is usually associated with absent or hypoplastic transverse and sigmoid sinuses.
