Summary

Two patients were described in whom cerebral venous thrombosis occurred in the presence of ulcerative colitis. Evidence was presented to suggest that this is more than a chance association.

The diagnosis was confirmed in 1 patient at craniotomy and in the other at postmortem examination following a fatal pulmonary embolism. Possible etiologic factors were discussed.
