Abstract
In most cases, extensive cerebral venous thrombosis present themselves with a severe clinical outcome and poor prognosis. We present the case of a 59- years-old patient with a slight rather unrevealing symptoms but suffering f rom a cerebral thrombosis impacting on both superficial and deep venous sys tem. The etiologic assessment revealed activated protein C resistance. Clinical evolution under systemic anticoagulation was prompt, with complete repermea bilisation of the various venous structures.
