Abstract
The venous sinuses are responsible for draining the cerebral blood into the internal jugular vein.
Thrombosis of these breasts is rare and occurs mostly in women of childbearing age or in pregnancy. The symptoms that occur in this clinical picture are due to increased intracranial pressure, which is why the most common are headache, papilledema and motor deficit. Among the most common causes that produce this pathology are prothrombotic states and infectious pictures. The diagnosis is made by imaging, including magnetic resonance imaging and computerized axial tomography. Treatment will depend on the cause, if it is a clotting disorder, anticoagulants will be given and if it is due to an infectious condition, it will be covered with antibiotics.
