Conventional MR imaging is often not helpful in differentiating the two. We discuss two cases in whom susceptibility-weighted imaging, including phase images contributed in demonstrating the thrombosed or patent internal cerebral veins.RadiologySusceptibility-weighted imaging in differentiating bilateral medial thalamic venous and arterial infarcts
