Persistent falcine sinus in an adult: demonstration by MR venography

AJNR Am J Neuroradiol. 2005 Apr;26(4):750-1.

Abstract

The falcine sinus is a normal anatomic structure located in the falx cerebri that closes after birth and is rarely observed in the adult population. We describe a unique case of persistent falcine sinus in an adult who presented with venous sinus obstruction.
