Overview
Historical Perspective
A French physician named Ribes is the first one to report a case of cerebral vein thrombosis in a 45 years old woman who presented with headaches and seizures. Autopsy findings revealed that there were superior sagittal and lateral sinus thrombosis causing the symptoms. This is the first case report defining the features of cerebral vein thrombosis. The relationship between cerebral vein thrombosis and pregnancy was revealed a few years later when John Abercrombie, physician to King George IV, reported a case of a 24years old female who died 2 weeks after delivery due to status epilepticus and her autopsy showed thrombosis in superior sagittal sinus and cortical veins.[1]
