Case 3

48 year-old woman with thrombosis of left lateral sinus and thrombotic affection of several temporo-occipital veins.

CT image (Fig 1) shows a broadly based hemorrhage located in temporo-occipital and parietal areas separated into segments. It extends into left subdural space.

Lateral and oblique views of left internal carotid sequenced phlebograms show in early venous phase (Figs 2) delayed venous circulation and absence of temporo-occipital veins.

In the middle (Fig 3,4) and late (Figs 5,6) venous phases there are appearances of isolated thrombosis, delayed visualization and venous stasis of temporo-occipital veins.

The venous collateral features are absent and the normal venous drainage has been completely disturbed. Consequently a segmented brain hemorrhage has been caused.
