Cerebral venous thrombosis is an uncommon presentation of stroke and subarachnoid haemorrhage. Cerebral venous thrombosis may present with headache, seizures, cranial nerve involvement or focal neurological deficit. Venous thrombosis may also be associated with pre-existing medical problems, which need to be diagnosed and treated. Gill Cook is a consultant physician with University Hospitals of Morecambe Bay NHS Trust.
