Deep cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare pathology and hard to diagnose cause of the acute cerebrovascular diseases. Commonly, the veins of Galen and Rosenthal affected by the non-isolated deep cerebral venous thrombosis are described in most of the publications. The article presents a clinical case of an extremely rare isolated deep cerebral venous thrombosis in a female patient aged 31 years with a burdened obstetric history and thrombophilia. The disease onset started with increasing hypertension headache, congestive changes in the fundus, cerebellar and pyramidal signs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed a pattern of a multi-focal brain lesion. Thus, the primary diagnosis of «multiple sclerosis» was established, so the patient received pulse therapy. Differential diagnosis was conducted with systemic connective tissue diseases. Regression of headaches, of changes in the fundus, dynamic neuroimaging data, and the results of hematology test made it possible to diagnose «deep cerebral venous thrombosis». During the anticoagulant therapy, there was a positive dynamics: the foci significantly regressed according to MRI data, the patient became pregnant and delivered a healthy child. The article describes the characteristics of MRI images on deep cerebral venous thrombosis, which can be used to diagnose this patholo gy.
