Abstract
Thrombosis of the cerebral veins and sinuses affects mainly young adults and children. This potentially disabling or fatal condition is usually not diagnosed until a week after the onset of symptoms. This review article describes the clinical presentations of the disorder such as those that occur after a head injury or lumbar puncture. Therapeutic options include anticoagulation, thrombolysis, and measures to control intracranial hypertension.Keywords
