Cerebral venous thrombosis is an uncommon and serious complication of contraceptive medication, which often masquerades as a simple headache. The clinical picture is often confusing and imaging is critical to the diagnosis of this disorder. This case report illustrates a case of dural venous thrombosis and a review of the radiological features of cerebral venous thrombosis.
