Sumario:A 19-year-old previously healthy man presented with convulsions, fever, headache, diarrhea, and vomiting. Brain magnetic resonance imaging revealed cerebral hemorrhaging in the right parietal lobe and thrombotic occlusion of the right great cerebral vein. Blood cultures were positive for nontyphoidal Salmonella. The patient was successfully treated with antibiotics and anticoagulants. Nontyphoidal Salmonella bacteremia can cause cerebral venous thrombosis and physicians therefore need to consider nontyphoidal Salmonella bacteremia as a potential cause of cerebral venous thrombosis.
