Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis with Cerebral Hemorrhage Presenting with Status Epilepticus in Early Pregnancy
Background:
CVST is an important cause of stroke during late pregnancy and in the puerperium, but it is seldom encountered during early pregnancy. We report a case of a 34-year-old woman presenting with convulsive status epilepticus in early pregnancy.
Methods:
In this case, the cranial computed tomography detected hemorrhage. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed a bilateral hypointense signal involving the frontal lobes and a hyperintense lesion on the right temporal lobe on T1-weighted imaging, and a large bilateral hyperintense area involving the frontal lobes on T2-weighted and fluid-attenuated inversion recovery imaging. Magnetic resonance venography showed occlusion of the right transverse sagittal and sigmoid sinus.
Results:
The patient received a diagnosis of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) with cerebral hemorrhage. The patient was given anticoagulant therapy for one month and made a good recovery.
Conclusions:
This case report should raise awareness of the diagnosis and treatment of CVST with cerebral hemorrhage in early pregnancy.

What is Venous Return?
Venous return refers to the rate at which blood flows back to the heart from the body's peripheral veins. It's an integral part of the circulatory system...
