Case 1

35 year-old man with iatrogenic thrombosis of a frontal cortical vein following a ventricular shunt procedure

Sequenced phlebograms of internal carotid artery show the delayed visualization of damaged vein (arrows) in early and middle venous phases (Fig 1,2,3) and the stasis of the same vein in the late venous phase (Fig 4).

The natural history of an iatrogenic damaged vein is of course not absolutely compatible to the thrombosis of a cortical vein. However, it should be useful in further interpretations for detection of affections of cortical and small veins.
