Common complications of cerebral venous thrombosis include neurological deficits, coma, and death.

The symptoms of cerebral venous thrombosis(CVT) usually develop in the first decade of life, and start with symptoms such as headache, seizures, neurological deficits, visual impairment, decreased level of consciousness. ^[1]^[2]

15% of patients with CVT may progress to develop residual epilepsy, cognitive impairment, recurrent CVT or systemic thromboembolism.
