Cerebral Haemorrhage in a Young Male due to Idiopathic Unilateral Sigmoid and Transverse Sinus Thrombosis, Treated with Anticoagulation

Abstract

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare but serious disorder. Most cases are linked to thrombophilias, pregnancy, infection and malignancy. It has a remarkably varied clinical presentation and is challenging to diagnose. It can be complicated by haemorrhage which makes the treatment decisions more challenging and difficult. Excellent functional recovery is likely with early recognition and treatment of the underlying aetiology.
