  • Note:—Hypo indicates hypointense relative to brain; Iso, isointense relative to brain; Hyper, hyperintense relative to brain; Mixed, areas of hypointensity and isointensity on T1WI; FS, magnetic field strength; Distance Above Torcular, linear distance above torcular; T, time-of-flight; C, elliptic centric encoded, contrast-enhanced MRV; SSS, superior sagittal sinus; M, male; F, female; NA, not applicable; MS, multiple sclerosis. Patient 10 did not have fluid-attenuated inversion recovery or diffusion-weighted MR imaging, and patient 11 did not have fluid-attenuated inversion recovery.
