ABSTRACT

In light of its rare occurrence as well as variable and nonspecific clinical presentation, deep cerebral venous thrombosis may be misdiagnosed. We here in present a 29-year-old female patient with cerebral venous thrombosis. Early diagnosis of deep cerebral venous thrombosis may be difficult for the clinicians as its clinical symptoms and signs are similar to central nerve system infections or psychiatric disorders. In the differential diagnosis of acute cognitive impairment, the diagnosis of cerebral venous thrombosis should be considered since its early diagnosis and treatment give a satisfactory response.
