Bilateral Sigmoid Sinus Thrombosis and Otitis Media.
Sigmoid sinus thrombosis is a rare complication of otitis media and is known to be unilateral. In this report, we present a case of bilateral sigmoid sinus thrombosis secondary to bilateral otitis. To the best of our knowledge, there are no bilateral-simultaneous cases reported in literature to date. Here, the diagnosis of and treatment for the disease as well as predisposing factors are discus...
متن کاملSinus Sigmoideus Thrombosis Secondary to Graves' Disease: A Case Description
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a distinct cerebrovascular condition that represents 0.5-1% of all strokes in the general population. Because of its procoagulant and antifibrinolytic effects [Horne et al.: J Clin Endocrinol Metab 2004;89:4469-4473], hyperthyroidism has been proposed as a predisposing factor for CVT [Saposnik et al.: Stroke 2011;42:1158-1192]. For the first time, we describe...
متن کاملTransverse-sigmoid sinus dural arteriovenous fistula presenting with parkinsonism.
Dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) is rarely associated with parkinsonism. A 52-year-old woman presented with a rare case of DAVF manifesting as parkinsonism and subsequently akinetic mutism. She showed dramatic recovery after endovascular treatment. We also review 10 published reports of DAVF presenting with parkinsonism. The clinical features of these cases at presentation was more closely co...
متن کاملSeptic Sigmoid Sinus Thrombosis Associated with Otitis Media
Background: Septic sinus thrombosis is an uncommon clinical syndrome that can cause high morbidity and mortality. We report a case with septic thrombosis of the sigmoid sinus caused by otitis media. Case Report: A 58-year-old male presented with a 12-day history of headache. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis showed elevated white cells (1020/uL, polymorphonuclear cells-89%), decreased CSF gluc...
متن کاملDifferentiation of transverse sinus thrombosis from congenitally atretic cerebral transverse sinus with CT.
BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transverse sinus thrombosis can have nonspecific clinical and radiographic signs. We hypothesized that the novel "sigmoid notch sign" (on head CT) can help differentiate transverse sinus thrombosis from a congenitally atretic sinus among individuals with absent signal in 1 transverse sinus by MR venography. METHODS We retrospectively evaluated 53 subjects with a unilate...
