Article Abstract
Two patients with superior sagittal sinus thrombosis during a thyrotoxic phase of Graves'disease are described.Both patients presented with hemiplegia,seizures,and a large goiter.The development of superior sagittal sinus thrombosis is multifactorial.Patients with thyrotoxicosis and a large goiter may be predisposed to the development of superior sagittal sinus thrombosis through hypercoagulability and stasis of the local venous blood flow.
