BACKGROUND Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is rare and can be promoted by various conditions. We report the case of cerebral venous thrombosis in a patient using androgens. CASE DESCRIPTION A 31-year-old man using androgens for bodybuilding was admitted for headache and vomiting. He had cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, but extensive examinations did not reveal any known cause. CONCLUSIONS...

Although few patients with spontaneous intracranial hypotension develop cerebral venous thrombosis, the association between these two entities seems too common to be simply a coincidental finding. We describe two cases of spontaneous intracranial hypotension associated with cerebral venous thrombosis. In one case, extensive cerebral venous thrombosis involved the superior sagittal sinus and mul...

A 20 year-old Turkish patient presented with superlor sagittal and lateral sinus thrombosis, The frequency of cerebral venous thrombosis generally is understimated and rnay be the first clinical manifestation. In case of intracranlal hypertension, cerebral venous thrombosis and Behgetbs disease should be tal[en into consideration, especially in the high risk population from Eastern Mediterranea...

introduction rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis is a progressive angioinvasive fungal disorder which almost always complicates immunocompromised patients. case presentation we described a case of fulminant rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis in a 65-year-old woman, who presented with progressive neurological deficits due to involvement of orbital apex and the central nervous system by local inva...

objective: the clinical value of igg anticardiolipin antibody in patients with behçet's disease with or without vascular thrombosis was evaluated.   methods: igg isotype of anticardiolipin (acl) antibody was assessed in 40 behçet's disease (bd) patients with venous or arterial thrombosis, 40 bd patients without venous or arterial thrombosis and 80 healthy subjects as controls. the lev...

Hyperhomocysteinemia can cause cerebral venous thrombosis. Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator is one of the treatment options for cerebral venous thrombosis in selected cases. We present here a 7-year-old boy with homocysteinuria with stroke. MRI of brain showed cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. We successfully treated with intravenous recombinant tissue plasminogen activator. He recovere...

The pattern of cerebrovascular disease in North-West India has been studied in a necropsy series of 362 cases over a 14 year period. One hundred and thirty eight cases of intracranial haemorrhage were found, 89 of cerebral embolism, 101 of cerebral arterial thrombosis and 34 of cerebral venous thrombosis. Nearly 37% of the affected patients were below 40 years of age. Cerebral embolism and cere...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Brain CT is widely used to exclude or confirm acute cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. The purpose of this study was to assess the value of attenuation measurement and the H:H ratio on unenhanced brain CT scans in the diagnosis of acute cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. MATERIALS AND METHODS This retrospective study evaluated 20 patients with acute cerebral venous sinus ...

From time immemorial, cerebral thrombosis used to be synonymous with arterial thrombosis. But, cerebral venous thrombosis was not uncommon but neurologists and pathologists were not properly oriented regarding cerebral venous thrombosis(CVT) specially because the anatomical knowledge were not updated and nobody actually believed that thrombosis can occur in low velocity capacitance vessels as o...
