Superior Sagittal Sinus Thrombosis Complicating Typhoid Fever in a Teenager
Figure 1
(a) Cranial CT scan of the patient showing a hypodense lesion in the parafalcine region with rim enhancement and effacement of the anterior of horn and body of the ipsilateral ventricle, consistent with superior sagittal sinus thrombosis or a left-parasagittal abscess; (b) a repeat scan 4 weeks later confirmed a marked progression of the lesion without significant shift of midline structures; and (c) CXR (AP view) shows bilateral mid and lower lobe opacities consistent with pneumonia.
