Abstract

Intracranial Hemorrhage (ICH) as initial presentation is an uncommon complication of Cerebral Venous-Sinus Thrombosis (CVT). Clinical and neuro-imaging studies of 4 cases of ICH due cerebral venous-sinus thrombosis seen at the William Osler Health System in Toronto will be presented. Discussion of the immediate and long-term management of these interesting cases will be reviewed with emphasis on the appropriate neuro-imaging studies. Literature review of Direct Oral Anticoagulants (DOAC) in the long-term management of these challenging cases will be discussed.
