A 60-year-old woman was admitted because of impairment of consciousness, vomiting and urinary incontinence. The CT-scan of the brain (without contrast agent) showed slight hypodensities in the areas of the basal ganglia. The great cerebral vein produced a very high intensity signal. We diagnosed an aseptic venous thrombosis of the great cerebral vein. The neurologic deficits increased, and an apallic syndrome was diagnosed in spite of heparin treatment. Causes of aseptic cerebral venous thrombosis are discussed.
Progressive cerebral sinovenous occlusion in a neonate with Sturge-Weber syndrome was documented by using two-dimensional time-of-flight MR venography. There was no evidence of intraluminal thrombus on routine spin-echo images obtained either before or after the onset of seizures, despite MR venographic evidence in both studies of venous abnormalities.
