We describe the
CT and MRI findings of a rare case that had persistence of multiple emissary veins and presented clinically with tinnitus.
The radiological findings included a dilated left mastoid emissary vein, bilateral petrosquamosal sinuses, posterior condylar
veins, occipital emissary veins and an intrapetrous venule. The left petrosquamosal sinus had an unusual origin from the dilated
mastoid emissary vein. The patient also had major anomalies of posterior fossa venous sinuses which are discussed. A relevant
review of literature is included.
