An arachnoid granulation in the straight sinus

Neuroradiology. 2000 Oct;42(10):746-8. doi: 10.1007/s002340000381.

Abstract

We report CT, MRI and angiographic findings of an arachnoid granulation in the straight sinus in a young man. Its density and signal intensity were isodense and isointense with cerebrospinal fluid on CT and MRI, respectively. The lesion appeared as a filling defect on MR venography and conventional angiography.
