Clinical presentations of childhood cerebral sinovenous thrombosis are nonspecific
and variable. Computed tomography venography and magnetic resonance imaging with magnetic
resonance venography are the investigation of choice for the diagnosis of sinovenous
thrombosis. We present an 8-month-old female child with a history of loose stools
and vomiting. She subsequently developed altered consciousness and abnormal jerky
movements. Magnetic resonance imaging showed sub acute hemorrhagic bithalamic infarcts
with deep sinus venous thrombosis. A brief review of the deep sinus venous thrombosis
including the present case is presented.
