Empty Delta Sign on Unenhanced Postmortem Computed Tomography Scan in Cerebral Venous Thrombosis

We present a case report of a 69-year-old man who on unenhanced PMCT scan showed an empty delta sign in the cerebral veins. The empty delta sign was able to be demonstrated in unenhanced PMCT which can be explained by hyper attenuation of the dural veins at postmortem forming an internal contrast highlighting the thrombus.
