Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare cause of stroke. Clinical presentation is not very specific and can be very variable. Imaging establishes the diagnosis in the majority of cases. ⋯ Long term prognosis of cerebral venous thrombosis is generally good and few patients remain handicapped in the long term. Evolution is however unpredictable. Treatment strategies follow three axes: anti-thrombotic treatment, symptomatic measures and treatment of the cause if one is found.
