Abstract

Deep cerebral venous thrombosis (DCVT) is an uncommon cerebrovascular disease with diverse neurological deficits and a poor prognosis. Therefore, the early diagnosis and treatment of DCVT are needed. We herein present a case of DCVT with edematous lesions in the bilateral thalami with Korsakoff syndrome (KS) as the initial symptom. Although KS mainly occurs in patients with thiamine deficiency, it can also result from cerebrovascular disease. Because thalamic dysfunction may be associated with KS, DCVT with thalamic lesions should be considered a cause of KS to facilitate its early diagnosis and treatment.
