“…In our study, this patient had normal computerized tomography angiography examination results to exclude large artery atherosclerosis but abnormal perfusion deficits of computerized tomography perfusion. Yosuke Takeuchi 9 reported a case with headache and sudden-onset right hemiparesis, which diagnosed with CSVT and confirmed decreased blood flow in frontal lobe. This case reported was similar with our patient.…”

“…To the best of our knowledge, less than 10 cases have been previously reported in the literature. [3][4][5][6][7][8][9] We presented a patient admitted to the Beijing Chao-Yang Hospital with a diagnose of CSVT presenting as TIA. This case report highlights the importance of identifying recurrent TIA from clinical manifestations of rare CSVT patients.…”

Cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) is a rare form of venous thromboembolism. Recurrent transient ischemic attacks were extremely rare clinical manifestation of CSVT. We reported a case of transient ischemic attack as an exceptionally rare form of CSVT. A 29-year-old woman presented with a headache and four episodes of a transient right limb weakness, numbness, and dysphasia lasting approximately 15 mins over the course of 2 weeks. Magnetic resonance venography revealed a superior sagittal sinus thrombosis with numerous prominent enlarged and dilated venous. Magnetic resonance imaging revealed venous infarction of the left frontal lobe. Transient ischemic attack-like episodes stopped with anticoagulation. We suggested that the patients with transient ischemic attack and symptoms of increased intracranial pressure should be carefully investigated in terms of CSVT.
