Abstract
A series of 38 patients with angiographically proven cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) affecting dural sinuses is reported. CVT is not rare. The clinical diagnosis is extremely difficult because of the variable modes of onset and groupings of symptoms. Most CT findings are nonspecific and angiography remains the best diagnostic tool. Only 4 patients died, which suggests a more benign outcome than classically described. None of the 23 heparin treated patients died, which indicates that anticoagulants were not harmful in this series.This publication has 21 references indexed in Scilit:
