Pregnancy, Japanese encephalitis and superior sagittal sinus thrombosis: coincidence or causal?
Journal Title: Nepal Journal of Neuroscience - Year 2004, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Japanese encephalitis is a common infectious condition in Nepal. Cerebral venous thrombosis is an uncommon clinical condition affecting persons with certain predisposing factors. But the simultaneous occurrence of these two conditions in extremely rare and to the best of our knowledge not described previously in the literature. In this paper we describe the clinical features and management of a 19-year old pregnant woman who suffered from Japanese encephalitis and superior sagittal sinus (SSS) thrombosis in our institution. In addition we review the literature.
