I have diagnosed with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis since december.
I went through an MRI scan and attached is the MRI results, Can anyone help me to to interpret the results?
Particularly I am worried about the below statement.
Right transverse sinus appears iso intense on TIWI and hyper intense on T2WI. On contrast
injection, the right transverse sinus pppears hyper intense with serpigenous enhancement within
the sinuse Rest of major dural sinuses appears normal and shows normal flow voids.
There is no evidence of tonsillar ectopia noted. Craniovertebral junction appears normal.

Hi XXXXXXX
Thanks for being on healthcaremagic.com.
I am Dr.Ajay Panwar,a neurologist, here to answer your query.
I have gone through the MRI report which you have uploaded. This is suggestive of right transverse sinus thrombosis(blood sinus blocked by blood clot), which has partially re-canalized.
You are already on Pradaxa and Homin. That itself says that you must be aware about the condition. Partial recanalization means that clot in the dural sinus has dissolved to some extent.
If possible, you can upload your clinical documents so that I can review them. You need to continue the treatment, however.
Hope that helps.If you have any further questions,I shall be glad to have you in follow-up.

Hi, I have provided some attachments. Please review them.
Hi Doctor,
The report indicated something related to "
Right transverse sinus appears iso intense on TIWI and hyper intense on T2WI." There are no red flags that I need to worry about? I am asking because some Web research on these terms really made me worry about these terminologies and hence I am asking again, please pardon my ignorance on this one.
i have uploaded all my test reports as well.
