Abstract
Objective Cerebral venous thrombosis is often associated with nonspecific clinical complaints. In addition, the imaging findings are often subtle. Underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis of cerebral venous thrombosis can lead to severe consequences, including hemorrhagic infarction and death. Conclusion This article reviews the radiologic findings and diagnostic pitfalls of cerebral venous thrombosis. After completing this article, the readers should have an improved ability to diagnose cerebral venous thrombosis accurately, using the optimal imaging tools to achieve this goal.Keywords
