Abstract

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a relatively uncommon condition in general population. However, occurrence in Armed Forces personnel serving at high altitude area (HAA) is relatively more common. Due to varied clinical presentation and other mimickers at HAA, diagnosis and treatment gets delayed. Imaging forms the corner stone in diagnosis. A high index of suspicion and awareness about findings on cross-sectional imaging especially non contrast enhanced computed tomography (NCCT) which is widely available at zonal service hospitals supplemented by contrast enhanced computed tomography (CECT), CT venography (CTV) and magnetic resonance imaging (MRI)/MR venography (MRV) enables early diagnosis and treatment.
