Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare life-threatening disease of unknown etiology. Stegner et al. show that aberrant platelet activation through cooperative signaling of CLEC-2 and GPIIb/IIIa receptors triggers foudroyant CVT in mice and shed light on the molecular pathways of the disease pathogenesis.
