Abstract
There have been few reports of the stroke related with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). We experienced two cases of acute stroke associated with CVT. Case 1: A 79-year-old woman have sudden loss of consciousness due to the CVT of left sigmoid sinus occlusion. Her symptom went well with the anti-coagulant therapy for CVT. Case 2: A 48-year-old man have sudden left hemiplegia due to the CVT of the superior sagittal sinus occlusion. His symptom went well with the anti-coagulant therapy for CVT. We reported previously penumbra-like lesion is found around the ischemic core lesion in the rat venous occlusion model, so early diagnosis is very important for the care for the penumbra-like lesion. In our two cases, the finding of hypo-intense of the occluded sinus in the T2* weighted image is effective for the early diagnosis of CVT.
