Q: 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?
