Abstract
THROMBOSIS IN the central nervous system occurs in both the sinovenous system (sinovenous thrombosis) and in the arterial system (arterial ischemic stroke). The diagnosis of cerebral thrombosis in children has been facilitated by the development and availability of sensitive and safe radiographic tests such as computed tomographic scans and magnetic resonance imaging with magnetic resonance angiography.1 The widespread use of these radiographic tests in children's hospitals has contributed to an increasing awareness of thrombotic disease in the central nervous system.1-4Keywords
