Abstract
Head injuries are described in the literature as a rare but possible etiology of cerebral venous thrombosis although no pathophysiological link has been identified. Trauma-related venous thrombi occurring in the brain produce a broad spectrum of clinical presentations. A purely psychiatric term is exceptional, leading to misinterpretation and late diagnosis. Positive diagnosis has been greatly improved by advances in magnetic resonance imaging with venous phase angiography, currently the gold standard exploration. We report the case of a patient who presented with post-trauma cerebral venous thrombosis revealed by psychiatric disorders.
