Post traumatic dural sinus thrombosis following epidural hematoma: Literature review and case report

Spontaneous Resolution of a Fetal Dural Sinus Thrombosis: One Case Report and Review of the Literatures

Dural sinus thrombosis following head injury: report of two cases and review of the literature.

Dural sinus thrombosis (DST) usually involves the sagittal, transverse and sigmoid sinuses and is more common in women due to pregnancy, puerperium and oral contraceptive use. Other etiologies include coagulopathies, infection and head injury. We have present two DST cases following head injury. The first case was a 35-year-old man hospitalized because of one-week history of headache and repeat...

  Chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) is a common childhood infectious disease in developing countries. It may be associated with various life threatening intra-cranial or extra-cranial complications.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis following accidental dural puncture and epidural blood patch.

We report the case of a woman who developed cerebral venous sinus thrombosis after an attempted epidural. The epidural was complicated by an accidental dural puncture and the ensuing headache was initially treated with an epidural blood patch. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is an uncommon condition with varying aetiology and risk factors. We discuss the importance of the differential diagnosi...

Acute Epidural Hematoma Compressing the Dominant Sigmoid Sinus as an Unusual Cause of Intracranial Hypertension: Case Report and Review of Literature

Post traumatic dural sinus vein stenosis has been rarely described in pediatric population. We present a case of a 9-year-old child that had sustained a head injury after a fall from height causing an acute epidural hematoma compressing the dominant sigmoid sinus. The patient had developed sub acutely signs and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure. Prophylactic treatment with anticoagula...
