Summary:Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) is increasingly diagnosed in neonates. Despite many studies which have addressed diagnosis and management of pediatric CSVT, diagnosis of CVSD in neonates is difficult.

This report describes diagnosis of this rare condition in a newborn baby in order to make awareness about this serious condition in neonates.
