Deep Cerebral Venous Thrombosis In Adults
Journal Title: Journal of Neurological Sciences-Turkish - Year 2007, Vol 24, Issue 1
Abstract
As the thrombosis of deep cerebral venous system is rare and usually fatal in adults, we present three cases, two of which had excellent prognosis. Cranial CT scan shows increased density along the course of the vein of Galen and bilateral thalamic hypodensity. MRI shows bilateral thalamic hyperintensity on T2-weighted images. Also T1-weighted MR images showed high signal intensity in the internal cerebral vein and straight sinus which strongly indicates an intraluminal clot. As deep venous thrombosis presents with different clinical symptoms and signs, recognizing these typical radiological findings can help for diagnosis.
