Note:—DVT indicates deep cerebral venous thrombosis; f, female; m, male; IDVT, isolated deep venous thrombosis; CDVT, combined deep venous thrombosis; NCCT, noncontrast cranial CT; CTA, CT angiography; MRI, MR imaging; MRA, MR angiography; DSA, digital subtraction angiography; ICV, internal cerebral veins; RICV, right internal cerebral vein; SS, straight sinus; TSV, thalamostriate vein; LTSV, left thalamostriate vein; BVR, basal veins of Rosenthal; LBVR, left basal vein of Rosenthal; RBVR, right basal vein of Rosenthal; VG, great vein of Galen; diagnostic delay #, time between onset of initial symptoms and definite diagnosis of DVT; LTS, left transverse sinus; RTS, right transverse sinus; LSS, left sigmoid sinus; SSS, superor sagittal sinus.
