Cerebral venous thrombosis is a relatively rare condition when compared with vascular accidents of arterial origin representing 0.5-1% of all strokes. Unlike arterial infarcts parenchymal changes are seldom present and when present most of the times are reversible. We present a case report of 28-year-old female with thrombosis of internal cerebral veins and straight sinus and hemorrhagic infarc...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Antiphospholipid antibodies are known to be associated with increased risk of venous and arterial thrombotic events, including cerebral venous thromboses. Pseudotumor syndrome can be produced by cerebral venous thrombosis. A patient with cerebral venous thrombosis associated with antiphospholipid antibodies who exhibited pseudotumor syndrome is reported. CASE DESCRIPTIO...

BACKGROUND Isolated thrombosis of the deep cerebral venous system is very rare and is associated with a poor prognosis. Antithrombin III (AT III) deficiency is a disorder of hypercoagulability associated with deep venous thrombosis and recurrent pulmonary emboli. We report a case of an 18-year-old man who presented with spontaneous thrombosis of the deep cerebral veins and straight dural sinus ...

We herein report a young patient with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) with clinical and neuroradiological findings of the left maxillary and anterior ethmoid sinusitis. Serial brain MRIs showed cerebral venous infarct and thrombosis in the superior sagittal sinus (SSS). MR angiography demonstrated nonvisualization of SSS and bilateral transverse sinus. According to our knowledge, CVT associate...

Paroxysmal Nocturnal Hemoglobinuria (PNH) is a rare type of acquired hemolytic anemia that is frequently associated with thrombophilia. It may rarely present with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, which manifests clinically with signs of raised intracranial pressure and requires lifelong anticoagulation therapy. One such rare presentation was seen in a 28 years old male who had history of recur...

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is an uncommon but serious disorder with highly variable clinical presentation. Over the past decade, more cases of CVST have been diagnosed more frequently and at an early stage of the disease process. This is mainly attributed to increased awareness by neurologists and the availability of sensitive non-invasive neuro-imaging techniques. Cerebral venous ...
