Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is an uncommon condition,
which over the past 10 years has been diagnosed
more frequently due to greater awareness and the availability
of better non-invasive diagnostic techniques. Because of the
generally good prognosis and variable clinical signs, many
cases remain clinically undetected but some patients suffer
complications and die. CVST is slightly more common in
women, particularly in the age group 20–35, due to pregnancy,
puerperium and oral contraceptive use. The mean age
in different studies was 37–38 years, although all ages can be
affected [1-4]. The clinical spectrum, however, is wide and
recognition remains a challenge for the clinician [1-8].
