A member asked:
Plain ct scan brain impression; right transverse sinus appears dense and a dense focus is noted adjacent to it kindly give me a advice thanks?

It is not feasible to provide an interpretation of unseen films, especially without clinical information. Although your report might indicate venous sinus thrombosis, this could also be artifactual, and you might require a CTA for confirmation. Clinical correlation is key. Did you discuss the films with your doctor, who knows you best?
