Historical Perspective
The first description of thrombosis of the cerebral veins and sinuses is attributed to the French physician Ribes, who in 1825 observed thrombosis of the saggital sinus and cerebral veins in a man who had suffered from seizures and delirium.[1] Until the second half of the 20th century it remained a diagnosis generally made after death.[2] In the 1940s, reports by Dr Charles Symonds and others allowed for the clinical diagnosis of cerebral venous thrombosis, using characteristic signs and symptoms and results of lumbar puncture.[3][4]
Improvements on the diagnosis of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in life were made with the introduction of venography in 1951,[5] which also aided in the distinction from idiopathic intracranial hypertension,[6] which has similar presenting signs and symptoms in many cases.[2]
The British gynecologist Stansfield is credited with the introduction, in 1942, of the just recently introduced anticoagulant heparin in the treatment of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in 1942.[2][4] Clinical trials in the 1990s finally resolved the concern about using anticoagulants in most cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.
