Protein S deficiency may result in venous thromboembolic phenomena including deep venous thrombosis, pulmonary embolus, inferior vena cava thrombosis, renal or hepatic vein thrombosis, and intracranial venous and dural sinus thrombosis [2,3,11,12], as well as arterial thrombosis leading to stroke [3,13-17].
No intracranial extension was seen, but the MRI did identify a thrombosis in the adjacent transverse dural sinus that extended to the sigmoid sinus and internal jugular vein (figure 2 A).
They used the technique to evaluate 10 patients who had clinical and imaging features consistent with what is called partially recanalized chronic dural sinus thrombosis, a condition in the membrane surrounding the brain where blood flow has been partially re-established in a previously blocked vessel.
