Cerebral venous thrombosis associated to the monoclonal gammopathy of undetermined significance has been rarely reported. In this paper, we discuss case 68-year-old man who presented repeated comitial. A cerebral Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) showed thrombosis. The only biological abnormality highlighted was high level gammaglobulin. coexistence and were fortuitous without causality links.&#...

The first suggestion that oral contraception might be responsible for cerebral vascular disease was made by Lorentz (1962), when he described the case of a young woman who had been taking the contraceptive pill norethynodrel (Enavid) and had developed a left parietal vascular lesion. Other authors subsequently reported similar cases. Walsh et al. (1965) were the first to prove that the underlyi...

UNLABELLED INTRODUCTION Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare condition. The most frequent symptoms and signs are headache, focal seizures with or without secondary generalization, unilateral or bilateral paresis and papilledema. We report a case of transverse sinus and superior sagittal sinus thrombosis that presented with diplopia in a pregnant woman. CASE PRESENTATION A 34-year-old...

Infection with the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) is associated with increased risk of cerebrovascular disease; however Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST) is rarely associated with HIV-related cerebrovascular events. We describe two cases of HIV-positive patients who, at the same time, presented to our hospital with deep cerebral venous thrombosis and stroke.

Two patients with cerebral venous thrombosis are described. In both patients laboratory findings suggested an underlying haematological disorder and bone marrow biopsy showed a myeloproliferative disorder. Both chronic cerebral venous thrombosis and early myeloproliferative disorders are difficult to diagnose. Their combined occurrence may be less rare than is frequently supposed.

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 Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare complication of polycythemia. To our knowledge, epoetin alfa-induced polycythemia has not previously been reported in association with cerebral venous thrombosis. CASE DESCRIPTION A 37-year-old patient who was receiving peritoneal dialysis and epoetin alfa (Epogen) therapy presented with a several-day history of worsening headache, and a neuroim...

Mandurai City is a composite of many villages with a total population not exceeding one million. Undoubtedly more than 95% of the hospital patients come from the rural areas. Our Government Hospital is the largest and reflects the medical assistance provided for people of average and low income. In our experience, 15% of cerebrovascular strokes occur in those below 40 years of age. Meningovascu...
