What tests will be done to diagnose cerebral venous sinus thrombosis?

To diagnose cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, your healthcare provider can use imaging, such as:

  • Brain MRI (magnetic resonance imaging) with contrast (dye).
  • Brain CT (computed tomography) with contrast.
  • Magnetic resonance venography (MRV), CT venography or cerebral angiography.

They might also do blood tests, like a hypercoagulability panel, to look for a clotting disorder.
