Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is rare, with 3-4 per million annual incidence in adults and 7 per million incidence in children (predominantly in the newborn[1]). 75% of cases are in women; some historical evidence suggests that the use of oral contraceptives in women is behind the disparity between the sexes.[2] In adults, the disease occurs most often in the third decade.[1]
