Abstract:
Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare condition, with identified and described risk factors mainly associated with prothrombotic states, with a wide variety of symptomatology based on the site affected, the most common being intracranial hypertensive syndrome, focal or encephalopathy.

The following describes a case of painful facial symptoms progressing to a focal syndrome associated with a history of chronic oral contraceptive use, with thrombosis of vein of Trolard detected and successfully treated with oral anticoagulants.
