Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: Review of Diagnosis, Follow-Up, Late Complications and Potential Pitfalls.
Cerebral venous thrombosis is a less common but relevant cause of stroke in adults. The clinical manifestations are nonspecific leading frequently diagnostic delays, so imaging findings are is of vital importance. Conventional imaging modalities, namely computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), allow identification of the thrombus and parenchymal involvement due to venous congestion to a variable degree, but this entity may appears as a nonexpected finding in a nonvenographic study. computed tomography and MRI venographies allow noninvasive confirmation of the diagnosis and adequate characterization of the extent of the thrombus and acute complications, both of them being robust diagnostic techniques. MR venography also can be done without the use of contrast media, which is especially important in certain clinical situations. Cerebral venous thrombosis needs follow-up, and imaging plays a key role in detection of late complications of the disease, including dural arteriovenous fistulas and intracranial hypertension due to veno-occlusive disease. Knowledge of other diseases and conditions that may mimic a thrombus is needed to avoid wrong diagnosis. In this article, we conduct a pictorial comprehensive review of cerebral venous thrombosis, including also the technical aspects of different imaging modalities, diagnosis and acute complications, follow-up, late complications and potential imaging mimics.
