Abstract

AbstractVenous sinus thrombosis is a common neurovascular problem with multifactorial etiology, infection being one of the common causes. Cerebral abscess causing thrombophlebitis and venous sinus occlusion is a known entity. In contrast, venous hemorrhagic infarct leading to abscess formation is extremely uncommon. We report a rare case of such delayed abscess formation in a venous hemorrhagic infarct secondary to superior sagittal sinus occlusion.
