Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare form of thrombosis (a blood clot) affecting the dural venous sinuses which drain blood from the brain. Symptoms may include headaches, any of the symptoms of stroke, seizures, abnormal vision and raised intracranial pressure. Treatment is with anticoagulants (medication that suppresses blood clotting). Complications include raised intracranial pressure, which may warrant specialist interventions.
