Alexia without agraphia due to cerebral venous thrombosis
Abstract
Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare subtype of cerebrovascular diseases in which the dural sinuses and cerebral veins are partially or completely occluded. In this article, we present a case of sinus venous thrombosis with venous hemorrhagic infarction referred with alexia without agraphia and transcortical sensory aphasia clinic. Our case is discussed in order to emphasize that the clinical features are rare, the lesion has atypical localization and sinus and venous thrombosis may present with different clinics.
