Symptoms were worse since the past 10 days. Neurological examination including funduscopy was unremarkable. A probable diagnosis of transformed migraine without aura was made; however, in view of the new onset headache during postpartum status MRI of the brain was performed to rule out the possibility of cortical venous thrombosis. MRI of the brain showed the absence of flow void in the right transverse sinuses (figure 1), MR venogram showed … |
