BACKGROUND
Moderate hyperhomocysteinemia is a causal risk factor for atherosclerosis and venous thromboembolism. Recent researches have tried to find out a causal relationship. However, only a small number of cases have been reported on hyperhomocysteinemia and cerebral venous thrombosis in the

BACKGROUND
Methionine loading test is commonly used to detect hyperhomocysteinemia in patients with arteriosclerosis and other conditions. As administration of methionine causes endothelial dysfunction in laboratory examinations, we explored whether loading with this compound leads to clinically
