Background: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare cause of stroke that preferentially affects reproductive aged females and patients with hereditary or acquired thrombotic risk factors. The superior sagittal sinus and transverse sinus are the two most common sites for thrombus formation. Case Description: We report a case of CVT arising in a very rare location, the sphenoparietal sinus. A 32-year-old woman with a history of factor V Leiden mutation and multiple prior episodes of venous thromboembolism presented with a new-onset seizure, headache, and emesis. CT angiography ultimately revealed thrombosis of the left sphenoparietal sinus. The patient received anticoagulation with apixaban with resolution of symptoms and without complications. Conclusion: This case serves as an uncommon example of sphenoparietal sinus thrombosis managed with novel oral anticoagulant treatment.

“…While CVT is extremely diverse, one of the clinical syndromes usually produces: (1) intracranial pressure (headache, papilledema, and visual perturbation), (2) focal neurological condition (focal and seizure impairments) or (3) encephalopathy [2,3,4]. Because of many of these non-specific manifestations, clinical suspicion of the diagnosis requires confirming neuroimager with MRI or CT/CT venogram [3,5].…”

Introduction: Cerebral venous sinus Thrombosis is the unusual cause of a stroke affecting both reproductively old and genetically or thrombotic risk factors (CVST). The superior sagittal sinus and the cross sinus are two most common places for thrombus formation. A 26-year-old Man was taken to the Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital with a new-onset complex-partial convulsion with secondary generalization, headache, and emesis seven days before presentation. Later on he experienced headache which was acute in onset and continuous in nature which was associated with fever. Patient had 1 episode of seizers lasting for 3-4 mints. Which was associated with fall on ground. He complained about weakness in left upper limb. The patient was then transferred to our care institution for definitive management. On arrival, the patient’s neurological examination was done and he reported a severe headache. MRI imaging performed at our institution. The patient was followed clinically, and no posttreatment imaging studies were performed. Following a 3-day hospital stay, the patient reported a significant reduction in headache severity and was discharged home.

“…Cerebral vein and dural sinus thrombosis is less common than most other types of stroke, being responsible for 1% to 2% of all strokes in adults. 1 It has diverse clinical and imaging features, risk factors, and variable outcomes. 2 Furthermore, data on natural history, management and prognosis is limited when compared with arterial stroke.…”
