Abstract/OtherAbstract:
|
Straight sinus vein thrombosis represents 15% of all diagnosed sinus vein thrombosis. Thrombotic occlusion of the deep cerebral venous system, the straight sinus, and the vein of Galen causes centrally located and usually bilateral thalamic infarcts. Unilateral thalamic venous infarction is extremely rare. The clinical and radiologic findings can be nonspecific and diagnostically challenging. We report a patient with this unusual condition and review the available literature. |
