Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (CVT) is a rare form of cerebrovascular disease with variable manifestations like headache, focal neurological deficit, seizure and altered sensorium thus making the diagnosis difficult. Indian studies revealed that CVT contribute to 10% of all stroke. Earlier studies from India showed an increase incidence of CVT in women due to puerperium, Oral contraceptive pills and hormone replacement therapy.
