【 摘 要 】

We describe an unusual case of delayed onset acute cerebral venous infarct that developed after an uneventful parasagittal meningioma excision. While the acute and chronic venous infarct are well known entities, there is dearth of literature regarding delayed onset acute form, which may prove to be fatal.
