Thrombosis of superficial cerebral veins is often a result of the expansion of a clot from one of the major cerebral venous sinuses; however, it can represent an isolated thrombosis originating in the cortical veins themselves. Isolated superficial cerebral venous thrombosis (ICVT) is an uncommon subtype of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) that only involves the superficial cerebral veins. 1
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
