Abstract: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a special subtype for 0.5%-1% of all strokes,and it tends to occur in young adults and women. It is a difficult disease in neurology because of its complex pathology. The clinical diagnosis is difficult, with high rate of missed diagnosis and misdiagnosis, and severe mortality rate up to 30%. Beyond thrombosis, different CVST-related parenchymal injuries may occur and include edema, ischemic strokes, and intra-cerebral hemorrhage. There are many uncontrollable factors  involved during CVST development. In order to further explore the pathological evolution and molecular pathological characteristics of CVST, it is necessary to establish a suitable animal model of CVST to study the molecular pathological mechanisms of CVST thrombosis, brain tissue damage and related prevention and treatment programs. Importantly, animal models are useful to study new therapeutic approaches. In this review, we provide a mainly overview of CVST experimental animal models, focusing on their strengths, limits, and applications for relevant studies.
