Abstract
We describe a series of 7 toddler-aged children with iron deficiency anemia from excessive cow's milk consumption who presented with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and no other identifiable risk factors for thrombosis. The deep venous system was involved in 6 patients, 6 had venous infarcts, and 5 have significant neurocognitive sequelae.
