Clinical and neuroradiological spectrum of isolated cortical vein thrombosis.
BACKGROUND
Isolated cortical vein thrombosis is only rarely diagnosed, although it may commonly be overlooked.


RESULTS
We report on four patients with this diagnosis who all presented with focal sensorimotor seizures. The diagnosis was made by a typical CT and MRI-pattern, which is described in detail.


CONCLUSIONS
The prognosis was excellent in all patients and the treatment options are discussed.
