Subarachnoid Hemorrhage as a Complication of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis
Journal Title: MGM JOURNAL OF MEDICAL SCIENCES - Year 2018, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is an uncommon but important cause of stroke in young women. Subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) secondary to CVST is a rare presentation. We present a case of 40-year-old female who presented with hemicranial headache. Magnetic resonant imaging (MRI) showed CVST along with SAH and venous infarcts. The patient improved on anticoagulant therapy. This report highlights the value of early diagnosis of CVST through neuroimaging and the importance of immediate anticoagulation as a part of patient management.
