Abstract
Cerebral thrombophlebitis (CT) corresponds to an obstruction of a cerebral vein by a clot. It is a less frequent pathology than cerebrovascular accidents (CVA) but is certainly not rare. Its diagnosis is more radiological (brain MRI being the reference examination) than clinical, given the heterogeneity of the symptoms. In most frequent cases, CVT is revealed by headaches, papilledema, epileptic seizures, or isolated intracranial hypertension. In other cases, the clinical signs are less obvious and can be presented by psychiatric signs, as in our patient's case. The treatment was primarily based on anticoagulant therapy and the evolution was marked by an improvement of all the symptoms.
