Four cases of cerebral thrombophlebitis, 3 of which occurred during post-partum and 1 during the first trimester of pregnancy, are reported. The symptoms were misleading, being predominantly psychiatric, with secondary appearance of an epileptic attack or motor deficit. The value of cerebral angiography is stressed in the literature.
