A case report: venous sinus thrombosis in pregnancy

Abstract

Venous sinus thrombosis (VST) should be considered in the differential diagnosis of all unexplained central nervous system disorders of sudden onset. Etiological factors are subclinical forms of several common thrombophilic states occurring together, rather than the typical inherited and rare causes. Diagnosis is often missed because of the heterogeneity in clinical presentation and radiological investigation is essential for the diagnosis. Prognosis depends on the early detection. By correcting the cause, the complications can be prevented.
