Venous Sinus Thrombosis in the Hypoglossal Canal Mimics a Neurogenic Tumor in a Patient with Presumed Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension: A Case Report

Presumed idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disorder of elevated intracranial pressure with unknown etiology, and 10% of cases occur secondarily to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). CVST may be underestimated when findings of IIH are missed in a normal-weight patient without risk...

Sumario:Presumed idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH) is a disorder of elevated intracranial pressure with unknown etiology, and 10% of cases occur secondarily to cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). CVST may be underestimated when findings of IIH are missed in a normal-weight patient without risk factors of coagulopathy. Here, we present a case of CVST that mimics a neurogenic tumor in the hypoglossal canal in a normal-weight patient without risk factors of coagulopathy.
