Abstract
A 45 year-old patient presented with an epidermoid carcinoma of the to ngue and cranial hypertension. MRI showed dural venous sinus occlusion , without infiltration or compression by a metastatic tumor. Anticoagu lation led to recanalization of the occluded sinuses, as shown by the follow-up MRI, three months later. The pathophysiology of these rare p araneoplastic cerebral venous thrombosis is discussed.
