Abstract

Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) is not a common problem, but looking at CSVT occurring during childhood, it is most often seen during the neonatal period. Dehydration; infections, especially meningitis; and surgery for congenital heart defects are well-known risk factors. With better color Doppler ultrasound and increased use of MRI, the diagnosis is more often made. Anticoagulation therapy can be used and reduces the risk of propagation of the thrombus. Prognosis depends on associated parenchymal involvement.
