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.
MRI scans showing cortical venous thrombosis.

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).
Plain CT scan showing hypodense lesion mistaken for glioma (actually venous infarct).

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.
Hyperdense lesion in T2 weighted MRI scan suggesting glioma.

Hyperintensity was noted also along the course of vein of Labbe in F1 3D images suggesting vein of Labbe thrombosis (Figure 6).
