Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, a rare condition, can cause severe headaches and vision problems. Prompt anticoagulation therapy effectively resolved symptoms in a young woman with this diagnosis.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Radiology
  • Vascular Medicine

Background:

  • Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a potentially life-threatening condition.
  • CVST can present with diverse neurological symptoms, including headache and cranial nerve palsies.
  • Early diagnosis and treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes.

Observation:

  • A 19-year-old woman experienced frontal headaches, papilledema, and a left sixth nerve palsy causing double vision.
  • Magnetic Resonance Venography (MRV) revealed thrombosis in the superior sagittal and bilateral transverse sinuses.

Findings:

  • The patient's clinical presentation, including papilledema and VI nerve palsy, resolved completely.
  • Neuro-radiological evidence of sinus thrombosis also resolved following treatment.

  • Anticoagulation therapy was the primary intervention leading to recovery.

    • Implications:

    • This case highlights the importance of considering CVST in young adults with unexplained neurological deficits.
    • Prompt anticoagulation is an effective treatment for CVST, leading to full recovery.
    • Timely neuroimaging, such as MRV, is essential for diagnosing CVST.
