Primary Outcome Measures

Name	Time	Method
Number of anatomical variants of dural sinuses by Magnetic Resonance Venography evaluation in Sohag	1 year	The primary outcome for the study is to assess the number of anatomical variants of dural sinuses by MRV evaluation among patients attended to Sohag University Hospitals. Standard head coils with small field of view and thin sections will be used for the examination. Routine MRI brain including Axial T1WI, T2WI, FLAIR, Coronal T2WI, and Sagittal T1 WI will be done with complementary Maximum intensity projection (MIP) 3D MR venography. Imaging findings of the veins and sinuses will be recorded using Philips Achieva1.5T MRI device (Philips Achieva, Netherlands) or Siemens Magnetom Altea1.5T MRI device (Siemens Healthineers, Germany). Any anatomic variants in these sinuses or their drainage, if any, will be recorded.
