ABSTRACT
We report superior sagittal sinus thrombosis as a central nervous system presentation of Behcet's disease in a patient with peripheral vascular and enteric involvement. The main symptoms were headache and horizontal diplopia due to intracranial hypertension. T1-weighted MRI with gadolinium enhancement revealed a similar pattern of the "empty delta sign" that is usually seen on brain CT. A magnetic resonance venogram revealed filling defects resulting from the thrombosis. These features are helpful for the noninvasive diagnosis of sagittal sinus thrombosis.

Cavernous hemangioma may exist in the spinal cord as well as intracranium. Intramedullary spinal cord cavernous hemangioma usually manifests with myelopathy. We report a case of intramedullary cavernous hemangiomas having presented with isolated radicular pain.
