Abstract

Early detection of cereberal venous sinus thrombosis is important to prevent complication. Here we present an interstecting case of tumor thrombsosis of the superior sagittal venous sinus in a follow up case of adenocarcinoma esophagus, highlighting the feasibility for FDG PET venography for detection of the same.
