Abstract

  Among 51 severe head injury patients, six cases of transverse sinus occlusion were diagnosed by CT-angiography. All patients had skull fractures, five of which were caused by traffic accidents and one by a fall. A young woman was diagnosed by MRI as having delayed venous infarction. Her hemiplegia recovered spontaneously. Asymptomatic hemi occlusion of transverse sinus may be overlooked in severe head injuries.
