OBJECTIVE: @entity50 ( @entity1779 ) is rare in @entity1 . Information on clinical characteristics, radiological findings and outcome is emerging. METHODS: Cases of @entity1779 diagnosed between 1995 and 2001 were identified by a computer-assisted search using International Classification of Disease codes. Medical records were reviewed to collect information on clinical presentation, investigations, treatment and outcome. RESULTS: Sixteen cases of @entity1779 were identified. All cases presented in association with head and neck pathology. The majority of cases presented with symptoms of @entity428 and focal neurological signs. Magnetic resonance imaging identified all cases of @entity1779 whilst CT scanning failed to demonstrate the diagnosis in two cases. Management with anticoagulation was associated with radiological resolution of the @entity715 and normal neurological outcome. Long-term follow up demonstrated @entity51 in greater than 40% of @entity1 . CONCLUSION: @entity1779 in @entity1 is associated with significant residual @entity16 . Prospective studies to identify predictors of outcome and effective management interventions are required.
