ABSTRACT
Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis in childhood is a serious disease. There are many predisposing and influencing factors which should be unraveled to identify patients at risk and to establish treatment regimens in children. We report two cases, in which the predisposing risk factors for the cerebral sinovenous thrombosis were antithrombin III deficiency in one case, and severe dehydration in the other. In both cases diagnosis was confirmed by standard imaging methods, computerized tomography [CT] followed by magnetic resonance imaging/venography [MRI and MRV]
