Hello,
Cerebral venous sinus Thrombosis. Yes, it can be reversed by anticoagulation for about 3 to 6 months of treatment depending on the cause. May require life long Anticoagulation.
Interval CT VENOGRAPHY to look for recanalization.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
Take care
