(1) Background: Cerebral venous and dural sinus thrombosis (CVT) rarely appears in the adult population. It is difficult to diagnosis because of its variable clinical presentation and the overlapping signal intensities of thrombosis and venous flow on conventional MR images and MR venograms. (2) Case presentation: A 41-year-old male patient presented with an acute isolated intracranial hypertension syndrome. The diagnosis of acute thrombosis of the left lateral sinus (both transverse and sigmoid portions), the torcular Herophili, and the bulb of the left internal jugular vein was established by neuroimaging data from head-computed tomography, magnetic resonance imaging (including Contrast-enhanced 3D T1-MPRAGE sequence), and magnetic resonance venography (2D-TOF MR venography). We detected different risk factors (polycythemia vera-PV withJAK2 V617Fmutation and inherited low-risk thrombophilia). He was successfully treated with low-molecular-weight heparin, followed by oral anticoagulation. (3) Conclusions: In the case of our patient, polycythemia vera represented a predisposing risk factor for CVT, and the identification ofJAK2 V617Fmutation was mandatory for the etiology of the disease. Contrast-enhanced 3D T1-MPRAGE sequence proved superior to 2D-TOF MR venography and to conventional SE MR imaging in the diagnosis of acute intracranial dural sinus thrombosis.
