title: Cord sign facilitates the early diagnosis of deep cerebral vein thrombosis.
abstract: The diagnosis of deep cerebral vein thrombosis is challenging. Brain computed tomography only has limited information. Brain magnetic resonance imaging and venography can make the diagnosis by revealing venous thrombosis. In this case report, we will introduce the unique image findings in brain computed tomography, which may facilitate early diagnosis and result in a better prognosis.
