Abstract

Improvements in diagnostic methods, in particular angiography, MRI, and MRI angiography, have made it possible to identify this pathology in many patients. The true incidence of central venous thrombosis (CVT), however, remains unknown, even if there is no doubt that it is more frequent than had previously been thought (Krayenbuehl 1967; Ameri and Bousser 1992; Bousser et al. 1985; Einhäupl and Masuhr 1994; Bousser and Russell 1997; Linn and Brückmann 2010).
