Isolated cortical vein thrombosis with subdural hematoma: A case report and literature review / 中国脑血管病杂志

ABSTRACT

Isolated cortical vein thrombosis is rare. It is easy to be missed or misdiagnosed due to variations of cortical vein anatomy, nonspecific clinical presentation, and lack of any imaging gold-standard of diagnosis. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis with subdural hematoma is rarer. Because of the side effects of anticoagulation, the optimal therapy for such patients is hard to decide. A 34-year-old puerperal woman who suffered from isolated cerebral cortical venous thrombosis with subdural hematoma was reported and relevant literatures were review, aiming to provide some references for the treatment of this disease.
