Hello,
Vascular inflammation is different form cerebral venous thrombosis. Cerebral venous thrombosis is a type of stroke. While vascular inflammation is not stroke, but it may lead to repeated stroke.
These two disorders have different manifestations on the brain MRI and different clinical symptoms.
Sometimes, they may overlap: vascular inflammation can lead to cerebral venous thrombosis. You should discuss with her doctor on these issues.
Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.
