Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis with hemorrhagic infarct: A rare presentation in a risk-defying male patient
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare but critical cerebrovascular condition characterized by clot formation in cerebral veins or sinuses. We present a case of a 30-year-old male with CVST, an atypical presentation of right-sided weakness and sudden loss of consciousness. While CVST typi...

description | Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare but critical cerebrovascular condition characterized by clot formation in cerebral veins or sinuses. We present a case of a 30-year-old male with CVST, an atypical presentation of right-sided weakness and sudden loss of consciousness. While CVST typically manifests as severe headaches and neurological deficits, our patient's unique symptoms pose diagnostic challenges. Advanced imaging techniques, including MRI with venography, played a pivotal role in confirming the diagnosis. Treatment involved anticoagulation therapy and resulted in a favorable outcome. This case highlights the importance of considering CVST in patients with unusual neurological symptoms and the crucial role of early diagnosis and intervention. Advances in diagnostic modalities and treatment options have significantly improved outcomes in CVST patients, emphasizing the need for timely recognition and management. |
