title: [Akinetic mutism due to fulminant multilocular cerebral venous thrombosis, including the vein of Galen].
abstract: Cerebral venous thrombosis may present with multifaceted symptoms and therefore be difficult to diagnose. Only few evidence-based data exist with respect to therapy and prognosis, especially concerning the deep cerebral venous system. A thrombosis of the vein of Galen is deemed to have a poorer prognosis. Our case report describes the local combined neuro-interventional therapy as an individual attempt to cure a patient with a fulminant disease course.
