DVST was not found among a group of 45 young, overweight women with incidentally-discovered papilledema and without DVST risk factors. We therefore believe it is reasonable practice to perform MRI alone, without dedicated MRV/CTV, in the investigation of young, overweight women with incidentally-discovered papilledema without risk factors for DVST.
