Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis following Diagnostic Curettage in a Patient with Uterine Fibroid

Figure 1

Brain MRI and MRV scan before and after treatment. MRV scan demonstrates loss of signal in the left transverse and sigmoid sinus, representing venous sinus thrombosis before treatment (indicated by arrows on (a1) and (a2)). The signal in the left transverse and sigmoid sinus recovered two months after the initiation of treatment (indicated by arrows on (b1) and (b2)), representing recanalization. MR image shows a patchy hypointense lesion in the left hemisphere of the cerebellum before treatment (indicated by arrow head on (a1)), and this patchy hypointense lesion recovered in the corresponding area after treatment (indicated by arrow head on b1).
