case_images: Sagittal sinus thrombosis (Figures 1 and 2). Serum homocysteine was elevated 16.61 micromol/L (normal 5-15 micromol), all other investigations including screening for collagen vascular disease, APLA, and vasculitis did not yield any positive results.
case_images: MRI scans showing cortical venous thrombosis.

case_images: CT head showed isodense to hypodense non-enhancing lesion with peripheral hypodense zone in the upper posterior part of the left temporal lobe and adjacent parietal lobe with minimal mass effect (Figure 3).
case_images: Plain CT scan showing hypodense lesion mistaken for glioma (actually venous infarct).

case_images: T1 weighted images and hyperdense lesion in T2 weighted images in left temporal lobe which supported the diagnosis of low grade glioma (Figures 4 and 5). Then patient was referred form the local hospital for surgery to another higher centre.
