A pregnant woman experienced neurological symptoms like seizures and vision loss due to cerebral venous thrombosis. Treatment involved anticoagulation and clot lysis, successfully restoring blood flow but leading to a manageable hematoma.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Obstetrics

Background:

  • Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare but serious condition.
  • Pregnancy and the postpartum period are risk factors for CVT.
  • CVT can present with diverse neurological symptoms, mimicking other conditions.

Observation:

  • A 24-year-old pregnant woman presented with acute neurological deficits including agitation, confusion, headache, vision loss, aphasia, and seizures.
  • Neuroradiologic examination confirmed thrombosis in the dural sinus and cortical veins.
  • The patient's condition rapidly deteriorated, necessitating urgent intervention.

Findings:

  • Treatment with abciximab (a glycoprotein IIb/IIIa inhibitor) and mechanical thrombolysis successfully restored cerebral venous blood flow.

  • Following the intervention, the patient developed a frontal hematoma, requiring surgical evacuation.
  • The case highlights the challenges in diagnosing and managing CVT during pregnancy.

    • Implications:

    • Early diagnosis and prompt, aggressive treatment are crucial for favorable outcomes in CVT.
    • This case underscores the importance of considering CVT in pregnant women with unexplained neurological symptoms.
    • Further research into optimal management strategies for CVT in pregnancy is warranted.
