Abstract: Clinical presentations of childhood cerebral sinovenous thrombosis
are nonspecific and variable. Computed tomography venography and magnetic
resonance imaging with magnetic resonance venography are the investigation of
choice for the diagnosis of sinovenous thrombosis. We present an 8-month-old
female child with a history of loose stools and vomiting. She subsequently
developed altered consciousness and abnormal jerky movements. Magnetic
resonance imaging showed sub acute hemorrhagic bithalamic infarcts with deep
sinus venous thrombosis. A brief review of the deep sinus venous thrombosis
including the present case is presented.
