Abstract:
Deep cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare condition associated with edema, infarction or hemorrhage in basal ganglia, thalamus and periventricular white matter. It presents nonspecific clinical manifestations such as altered consciousness, headache, focal neurological deficit, nausea and vomiting. Extrapyramidal signs are very rare in deep cerebral venous thrombosis. We report a patient who presented micrographia, hypophonia and bradykinesia as an early manifestation of deep cerebral venous thrombosis.
