REYES, Hans; SUELDO, Carla  and  GAVIDIA, Jorge. Intracranial sinuses thrombosis: Report of three cases and literature review. Rev Med Hered [online]. 2014, vol.25, n.3, pp.153-157. ISSN 1018-130X.

Intracranial sinuses thrombosis is an infrequent cerebrovascular accident whose diagnosis is usually delayed due to diverse causes and varying clinical presentations. However, with the advent of magnetic resonance imaging, angio-resonance and with better knowledge of the clinical picture its diagnosis has improved nowadays. We present here three women cases with headache and focal deficits of sub-acute onset. Neuroimaging studies were compatible with intracranial sinuses thrombosis. Patients had different risk factors; they were treated with heparin and responded well to treatment.

Keywords : Stroke; heparin; intracranial sinus thrombosis.
