A RARE CAUSE OF CORTICAL VEIN THROMBOSIS

Cortical vein thrombosis is an uncommon but severe thrombotic manifestation with high potential to cause disability and tendency to recur. Cortical vein thrombosis in males is very rare when compared to females. A detailed evaluation has to be done to find out the cause for the cortical vein thrombosis particularly if they are young, because treatment for the specific cause may help to prevent recurrent cortical vein thrombosis. Protein C deficiency is one of the rarer cause of cortical vein thrombosis.
