Cortical venous thrombosis (CVT) mostly occurs due to a hypercoagulable state. Infection- related CVT is very rare and medical emergency associated with high mortality rate. It has been described bacterial fungal infections; but only few isolated case reports of tubercular meningitis (TBM) exist. Only six documentations CVT, as complication TBM, exist in the literature. Here, we report young gi...

Among the many infective causes of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), viral hepatitis has been regarded as a rare associated condition. We report the case of a 31-year-old woman presenting with CVT associated with hepatitis A virus (HAV) infection, outlining probable pathogenic mechanisms. We suggest that hepatitis A serological markers should be routinely included in the investigation of cerebr...

We report on two patients with cerebral sinus venous thrombosis following chemotherapy with cisplatin, bleomycin and etoposide for non-seminomatous germ cell tumor. Headache and neurological deficits were the leading symptoms. Cancer and cisplatin chemotherapy are well-known risk factors for thromboembolic events. The therapeutic strategy is an anticoagulant therapy. Symptoms are usually revers...

We describe a patient with inherited plasminogen deficiency who developed extensive cerebral venous thrombosis. Several other conditions that might have contributed to a hypercoagulable state, including mild thrombocytosis, thyrotoxicosis, and a chronic inflammatory lung disorder, were present. We also discuss the evidence linking plasminogen deficiency with a thrombophilic state. The diagnosis...

RATIONALE Venous sinus thrombosis is a special type of cerebrovascular disease. Its incidence is low and its symptoms are lack of specificity. And its early diagnosis and treatment are very difficult. PATIENT CONCERNS This paper reported a rare case of a 43-year-old female who presented with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) complicated with cerebral artery infarction and secondary epileptic s...

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), a rare and life threatening complication of nephrotic syndrome, has a variable and non-specific presentation, posing diagnostic challenges. We describe a case of CVT in a Sierra Leonean child with nephrotic syndrome who was successfully treated for the condition despite the resource limitations of the hospital. This case highlights the importance of considering...

We describe the clinical case of an elderly woman with dementia, suffering from bilateral soleal venous thrombosis, despite antithrombotic prophylaxis, after orthopedic surgery. An isolated anti-cardiolipin antibodies positivity, however pre-existing for at least seven years, was found in a patient previous cerebral ischemia and treated intermittently aspirin. During coronavirus disease 2019 (C...

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon disease that mainly affects subjects younger than 40 years of age, patients with thrombophilia, and women who are pregnant or receiving hormonal contraceptives. The annual incidence is estimated to be 3 to 4 cases per million, which increases to 12 cases per 100 000 deliveries during the peripartum period. Mortality and recurrence rates are lower ...
