Resumo: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an unusual cause of stroke. It is more common in middle-aged women. Deep CVT lesions are usually bilateral. CVT can have very diverse clinical presentations and mimic other conditions. We report two women with CVT initially diagnosed as tumors (unilateral pseudotumoral presentation of CVT) successfully treated with intravenous heparin. Early diagnosis was important and completely reversed the symptoms. The diagnosis of CVT should be remembered when the clinical picture is compatible even if brain imaging suggests unilateral tumor.

É mais frequente em mulheres de meia-idade. As lesões da TVC profunda são geralmente bilaterais. TVC pode ter muitas apresentações clínicas e simular outras patologias. Nós relatamos os casos de duas mulheres com TVC inicialmente diagnosticadas como tumores (apresentação pseudotumoral unilateral da TVC) com boa evolução clínica após tratamento com heparina intravenosa. O diagnóstico precoce foi importante para a reversão completa dos sintomas. O diagnóstico de TVC deve ser lembrado sempre que o quadro clínico for compatível mesmo que a neuroimagem sugira tumor unilateral.Journal of Health & Biological Sciences2014-12-11T13:41:42Z2014-12-11T13:41:42Z2014info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfPIMENTEL, L.
