[Headache in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis]

Abstract

Headache is the most frequent symptom of cerebral venous thrombosis. They do not have particular characteristics and can mimic other numerous varieties of headache. Frequently associated with other neurological symptoms, such as intracranial hypertension, seizures, focal deficits or disorders of consciousness, they are sometimes isolated, which stresses the need for investigations in all recent and unusual headache.
