Abstract

Early and correct diagnosis of cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis (CVST) is necessary for prompt management of this disorder. Neuro-imaging is a crucial part of diagnosis of CVST. I reviewed the findings of non-enhanced computerized tomography (CT), Contrast enhanced CT, CT venography (CTV), different techniques of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), MR venography, and digital subtraction angiography. I also reviewed the potential pitfalls in image interpretation. © 2013, Galen Medical Journal.
