Traumatic bilateral deep cerebral venous thrombosis: illustrative case
This case represents the first documented case of isolated traumatic bilateral DCVT without a preexisting hypercoagulable state or associated mass lesion. Dedicated venous imaging should be obtained in high-impact traumatic brain injury when noncontrasted imaging studies are inconclusive and clinical symptoms indicate further investigation is needed. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE25192.
