Venous temporal infarct in a 37-year-old woman.

A and B, T2-weighted MR image (A) and 3D time-of-flight MR angiogram (B) obtained on admission show a venous infarct in the temporal lobe due to thrombosis of the transverse sinus. Thrombosis of the superior sagittal sinus caused no infarct.

C–E, Follow-up MR images obtained after 12 months show that despite persistent occlusion of the transverse sinus (D and E) and only partial recanalization of the superior sagittal sinus, the volume of the venous infarct decreased substantially (C) at follow-up.
