Abstract

Thrombosis of deep cerebral veins including internal cerebral vein, great vein of Galen and straight sinus is frequently associated with thalamic and other deep cerebral infarctions or hemorrhages, which leading to severe nourologic deficits or death. Although the diagnosis might be dependent on cerebral angiogram in selected cases, the brain CT scan has been proved to have a great diagnostic value. The present report describes a 29 year-old unmarried female with abruptly developed deep cerebral vein thrombosis followed by secondary bithalamic hemorrhagic infarcts. Despite of prolonged periods of impaired consciousness after extraventricular drainage, the overall recovery was good with mild neurologic sequale.
