A cystic lesion within the dural sinuses: a rare cause of increased intracranial pressure

Neuroradiology. 1997 Feb;39(2):132-5. doi: 10.1007/s002340050380.

Abstract

We present a rare cause of intracranial hypertension in a 19-year-old woman. The torcular was obstructed by a cystic developmental lesion, thought preoperatively to be an epidermoid. The patient also had a second lesion of possibly developmental origin, a cerebral cavernous haemangioma.
