title: [Isolated cortical vein thrombosis. Clinical and neuroradiological aspects].
abstract: Isolated cortical vein thrombosis is only rarely diagnosed, although it presents with typical signs on imaging, presented in the paper. We report on five patients with this diagnosis, who all presented with focal sensomotoric seizures. Imaging with CT and MRI was the leading method. All patients were treated with oral anticoagulation and showed full recovery.
