Headache. Acute onset. Hypertensive. Rule out subarachnoid hemorrhage. There is no evidence of intracranial hemorrhage, mass or edema. The ventricles and basal cisterns are normal in size and configuration. The lateral sinuses have higher than normal density which raises the question of sinus thrombosis. MRI/MRV is recommended for further evaluation.The calvaria and skull base are radiographically normal. The visualized paranasal sinuses and mastoid air cells are normally pneumatized.These findings were discussed with Dr. Adrianne Haggins at the time of interpretation.
