1. Intracerebral hemorrhage can follow an asymptomatic interval after a trauma and may be due to local or systemic coagulation abnormalities, necrosis of blood vessels in areas of brain injury, transient cerebral dysautoregulation, reduction of intracranial pressure either medically or surgically, or cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. 2. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis may be easily overlooked ...

Dural venous sinus thrombosis following a mild head injury is increasingly recognized. We report case of a 9-year-old male child presented with progressive headache and vomiting following a minor fall. A diagnosis of sinus venous thrombosis was suspected on nonenhancing computed tomography, and that was confirmed with magnetic resonance venography. The child was managed with intravenous fluids,...

Weisman (1944) described a boy with a cavernous sinus thrombosis, probably secondary to an empyema of the lung, who died 24 days after the start 0 of his illness and was found to have pituitary necrosis probably due to infarction. Bouche, Guiot, Carrez, Cotin, and Comoy (1964) gave an account of four patients, all of whom had long histories of headache, who developed the clinical signs of caver...

Behçet's disease (BD) is a multisystem disorder. The main pathology in BD is vasculitis that involves arteries and veins of all calibers. Central nervous system involvement occurs in 5-10% of patients. Increased morbidity and mortality is rarely observed in children. The mean age at onset in pediatric BD is approximately 7 years. Neurologic involvement in BD is usually observed after 3-6 years....

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is an uncommon condition with severe consequences. Although we do not know the exact incidence and prevalence of CVST, it is an important diagnosis. Over the past decade, it has been diagnosed more frequently due to greater awareness and availability of noninvasive diagnostic techniques. Furthermore, routine diagnostic neuroimaging has been used to monito...

A 35-year-old woman with ulcerative colitis was transferred to our hospital because of 2-day history of altered mental status and headache. Apparently, 2 weeks prior to the transfer she had been having increased nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. She was diagnosed and reported with extensive thrombosis of the intracranial venous system. There was thrombosis of internal cerebral veins, the superior...

Nephrotic syndrome is associated with a hypercoagulable state and an increased risk of thromboembolic complications. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare complication of nephrotic syndrome, with few cases described in the literature, although the disease may be under-diagnosis. The true incidence of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis may be underestimated because many events are asymptomati...

Clinical manifestations of superior sagittal sinus (SSS) thrombosis are nonspecific but characterized by headache, papilledema, seizures, focal deficits, progressive coma and death. Recurrent transient focal neurologic deficit is an extremely rare manifestation in superior sagittal sinus thrombosis and the mechanism is unknown. A 45-year-old man presented with headache for two weeks and four ep...

We report the case of a 4-year-old boy with acute lymphoblastic leukemia in high-risk group who suffered from generalized tonic-colonic seizure evolving into status epilepticus, and subsequent left hemiparesis during his first reinduction chemotherapy, consisting of dexamethasone, vincristine, l-asparaginase, and epirubicin. Superior sagittal sinus and cerebral venous thrombosis, predominantly ...

Complications of paranasal sinus infection most often involve the orbit and periorbita. Because intracranial extension of sinus disease is infrequently seen today, the clinician may be unfamiliar with the evaluation and management of this potentially devastating complication. Despite recent advances in treatment and diagnostic imaging, intracranial extension is often not recognized early enough...
