This is a case study of a 34-year-old woman who was admitted to hospital with a history of severe orthostatic headache. She was diagnosed as having spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) by undetectable cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure at lumbar puncture, and with evidence of diffuse dural enhancement of the brain detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the contrast-enhance...

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a complication of the ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccine that should elicit high index suspicion when patients present with persistent headache post vaccination.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is an uncommon but potentially lethal condition that can present with headache, focal deficits, seizures, altered mental status, and papilledema. Nontraumatic dural sinus thrombosis is associated with medical conditions such as oral contraceptive use, pregnancy, dehydration, coagulopathies, connective tissue disorders, and leukemia. Traumatic dural sinus thrombo...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare entity that can be difficult to manage. Most patients with cerebral sinus thrombosis recover after treatment with heparin, but a subgroup of severe cerebral venous sinus thrombosis has a poor prognosis. Those patients may benefit from intrasinus thrombolysis. The purpose of this research was to carry out a retrospective analysis of pat...

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare but serious disorder that is associated with a poor clinical outcome. We report a 35-year-old man who had a severe headache and diplopia while climbing Mount Everest. His MR venography showed right transverse and right sigmoid sinus thrombosis. He improved on anticoagulant and symptomatic measures. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis at high altitu...

This study is to explore and evaluate the efficacy and safety of local thrombolytic therapy in superior sagittal sinus in patients with severe cerebral venous sinus thrombosis during puerperium, as well as the efficacy and safety of anti-platelet aggregation treatment for preventing recurrence. Twelve patients during postpartum period with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis were received local th...

The association of spontaneous intracranial hypotension with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is rare. We report here a case of extensive cerebral venous sinus thrombosis involving three sinuses following spontaneous intracranial hypotension. The patient presented no other thrombotic risk factors except for spontaneous intracranial hypotension. This case adds to the evidence that spontaneous in...

INTRODUCTION Seizure involves less than 1% of pregnancies; however it is associated with increased maternal and fetal complications. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare, but potentially life-threatening cause of seizure during pregnancy, presenting primarily as seizure in 12% - 31.9% of cases. Pregnancy and puerperium are known as the risk factors of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. C...
