Figure 2 Diagnostic histopathological and neuroimaging findings. (A, B) Pathological examination of the resected lesion shows no tumor in the lesion or meningeal tissues. The lesions are consistent with infarct-like changes. (A) Mixed thrombus is observed in the vein. (B) Loss of nerve fibers is noted. (C, D) CT scans on readmission showed hyperdensity in the superior sagittal sinus (red arrow), suggestive of venous sinus thrombosis; (E) DSA revealed multiple filling defects in the superior sagittal sinus and right transverse sinus (green arrow); (F) Postoperative venography following venous recanalization showed restored venous flow.
