Abstract

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare and potentially fatal condition. A 23-year-old man was admitted to the emergency department of Maresal Cakmak Military Hospital, Erzurum two times in one week for epileptiform seizures. As noncontrast head computed tomography (CT) scan was normal, he was first diagnosed with epilepsy. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance venography (MRV) showed the thrombus in the right transverse sinus, right straight sinus, and superior sagittal sinus. CVST should be considered for the differential diagnosis of patients who were admitted to the emergency department with epilepsy or epileptiform seizures and both MRI and MRV should be used for the diagnosis.
脑静脉窦血栓形成以反复癫痫样发作为急诊科表现;病例报告
脑静脉窦血栓形成(CVST)是一种罕见且潜在致命的疾病。一名23岁男子因癫痫样发作一周内两次入住埃尔祖鲁姆Maresal Cakmak军事医院急诊科。由于非对比头部计算机断层扫描(CT)正常,他首先被诊断为癫痫。磁共振成像(MRI)和磁共振静脉造影(MRV)显示血栓位于右横窦、右直窦和上矢状窦。对于因癫痫或癫痫样发作而入院的急诊科患者,应考虑CVST进行鉴别诊断,MRI和MRV均应用于诊断。
