Case report: An illusive cortical venous infarction mimicking glioma hemorrhage

Abstract: Cortical vein thrombosis (CVT) is a rare subtype of cerebral venous thrombosis. Because CVT is rare and its clinical and imaging findings are atypical, the misdiagnosis of CVT may be extremely high. We report a case of cortical venous infarction (CVI) secondary to CVT. Due to the atypical symptoms, we were perplexed about confirming the diagnosis between CVI and glioma hemorrhage. Eventually, CVT was confirmed by pathology combined with imaging.

“…Imaging of CVT on CT include indirect signs (edema, parenchymal hemorrhage, SAH, and rarely subdural hematomas) and less commonly direct signs (visualization of dense thrombus within a vein or within the cerebral venous sinuses). Confirmation is performed with CTV, directly demonstrating the thrombus as a filling defect (CTV/MRV) [ 5 , 6 ]. Venous sinus thrombosis is more common in young women, especially those taking oral contraceptives, pregnant, and postpartum.…”
