Abstract

Thrombosis of deep cerebral veins including internal cerebral vein, great vein of Galen and straight sinus are frequently associated with thalamic and other deep cerebral infarction or hemorrhage, which lead to severe neurologic deficits or death. The pregnancy is one of the factors causing cerebral venous thrombosis in adult. We report a case of isolated deep cerebral vein thrombosis during pregnancy which was confirmed by MRI and angiogram.
