Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis

چکیده
From time immemorial, cerebral thrombosis used to be synonymous with arterial thrombosis. But, cerebral venous thrombosis was not uncommon but neurologists and pathologists were not properly oriented regarding cerebral venous thrombosis(CVT) specially because the anatomical knowledge were not updated and nobody actually believed that thrombosis can occur in low velocity capacitance vessels as opposed to the conducting vessels like cerebral arteries. Since the advent of modern investigative modalities like magnetic resonance Imaging (MRI), Computerised Tomography Angiography (CTA) and Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) more and more patients are being confidently diagnosed.
