Pseudotumor cerebri is frequently the only clinical clue to the presence of cerebral venous thrombosis, a potentially devastating condition. We report a case of pseudotumor cerebri associated with thrombosed dural venous sinuses caused by propagation of a catheter-related subclavian vein thrombus. The findings and clinical course in this case alert us to a complication of central venous catheter use that responds well to treatment if recognized early.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
