[Usefulness of diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance imaging in diagnosis and therapeutic strategy of deep cerebral venous thrombosis: a case report].

We present the usefulness of Diffusion-weighted magnetic resonance images (DWI) in diagnosis and therapeutic strategy of deep cerebral venous thrombosis (VT). We report a 37-year-old man who suffered general convulsion and deep coma. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed high intensity in the right caudate nuclei and bilateral thalamus on T2-weighted images.
