Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare but serious condition in children. Early diagnosis with MRI/MRV and prompt treatment can improve neurological outcomes.

Area of Science:

Pediatric Neurology
Vascular Neurology

Background:

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare pediatric condition with high mortality (20%-78%) and non-specific symptoms leading to misdiagnosis.
Understanding the pathogenesis, clinical features, diagnosis, and treatment of pediatric CVST is critical.

Observation:

A case report of an 8-month-old male presenting with persistent headache, vomiting, and double vision.
Diagnosis was confirmed via magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance venography (MRV).

Findings:

Headache and papilledema are the most common symptoms of pediatric CVST.
MRI and MRV are essential diagnostic tools for CVST.
Intravenous urokinase, hormonal therapy, and anticoagulation led to neurological improvement.

Implications:

Highlights the importance of considering CVST in pediatric patients with non-specific neurological symptoms.
Emphasizes the diagnostic utility of advanced imaging techniques like MRI and MRV.
Suggests a treatment approach involving thrombolysis, hormonal therapy, and anticoagulation for pediatric CVST.
