Abstract
Abnomal intracranial venous drainage called cerebral venous angioma is usua lly asymptomatic. Hemorrages and seizures may however occur. The malformati on may rarely be revealed by thrombosis. We report the case of a 25-year-ol d right-handed woman who developed cortical thrombophlebitis subsequent to developmental venous anomalies. After a course of anticoagulant therapy out come was good, demonstrating that anticoagulant therapy may be indicated in spite of the high risk of hemorrhage.
