Clinical and Angiographic Imaging Features of Isolated Cortical Venous Thrombosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cerebral venous thrombosis usually presents as dural sinus thrombosis. More rarely, it occurs in an isolated form (isolated cortical vein thrombosis; ICoVT). ICoVT is poorly recognized and underdiagnosed, and noninvasive imaging remains nebulous. The digital subtraction angiographic (DSA) patterns of ICoVT are neither well known nor documented. We present clinical and imaging details of the largest series of ICoVT, with all cases demonstrating both noninvasive imaging findings, along with angiographic confirmation. We propose a preliminary compilation of the DSA patterns of ICoVT.

Methods

We identified all patients with cerebral venous thrombosis at our institution between January 2013 and June 2019. Only patients in whom ICoVT was diagnosed and/or suspected with
