Figure 1. Detection of CVST by cranial MRI. (a, b) T2-weighed MRI, coronal section. (c) Gadolinium-enhanced T1-weighed image, axial section. Filled arrowheads show thrombus in the left transverse and sigmoid sinus. Blank arrowhead shows left temporal intracerebral hemorrhage. Arrows show left parietal subdural hematoma.

Figure 2. Sonography of the thyroid gland shows hyperperfusion of the thyroid parenchyma, consistent with the diagnosis of Graves’ disease. Volume measurement revealed normal thyroid size (v = 16.6 mL, norm: up to 18 mL).
