Cerebral venous angioma, cutaneous angioma, facial asymmetry and recurrent stroke. A case report.

abstract：BACKGROUND:Thalamic lesion due to deep cerebral venous thrombosis (DCVT) is an uncommon cause of stroke. Until now, only a few case reports have been published. The aim of the study is to report the clinical and radiological findings of thalamic lesion with DCVT. METHODS:We reviewed our computerized stroke database of...
