“…MR imaging and MR venography are the most sensitive techniques in determining CVST. In this technique, there is no sign of flow in the occluded vein or sinus and the parenchymal changes can also be evaluated (5,8,11,14). We detected hemorrhagic areas at the left parietal lobe in the MRI examination of our case and did not detect any sinovenous and ipsilateral extracranial internal jugular venous blood flow in several intracranial segments in the MR venography examination.…”

“…The diagnosis can easily be made by using BT and MR imaging and obtaining a proper clinical history. BT is the first imaging modality and thrombosis is manifested as hyperdensity on non-contrast BT (5,8,11,14). In the first BT of our case, there were dilated hyperdense images at the left cortical vein at the vertex level, and there also were hyperdense hemorrhagic areas, which have peripheral hypodense edematous areas in the left parietal lobe.…”

“…This entity can also result in severe mortality and morbidity if the diagnosis and treatment initiation are late. 12 adult cases with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in nephrotic syndrome were reported in the literature (1)(2)(3)(5)(6)(7)(8)(9)(10)(11)(12)(13)(14)(15)(16). In this case, we are presenting an adult nephrotic syndrome patient with internal jugular venous thrombosis, in addition to intracranial segmental cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.…”

“…In the first BT of our case, there were dilated hyperdense images at the left cortical vein at the vertex level, and there also were hyperdense hemorrhagic areas, which have peripheral hypodense edematous areas in the left parietal lobe. On the other hand, BT with contrast is a better modality for identifying dural venous sinus thrombosis, and the vascular endoluminal area at the site of the thrombosis is relatively hypodense (delta sign) (3,5,8,11). MR imaging and MR venography are the most sensitive techniques in determining CVST.…”

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis with internal jugular vein thrombosis is not reported as a complication in nephrotic syndrome. We report a 40-year-old male with nephrotic syndrome, who had headache during his hospitalization. Conventional diagnostic tests showed extensive thrombosis at the proximal part of superior sagittal sinus, left cortical vein, left sigmoid-transverse sinus and left internal jugular vein. The patient underwent medical treatment and was discharged in good health after 2 weeks. The aim of this study is to report a novel case of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis with internal jugular venous thrombosis in a male patient with nephrotic syndrome.

SUMMARYCerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CSVT) is the presence of thrombosis in the dural vein, resulting with a variety of symptoms including seizure, loss of consciousness, focal neurological deficits, stroke and intracranial hypertension. Headache is the most common symptom of intracranial hypertension with or without vision loss, cranial nerve palsies. Since CSVT is more common in women regarding to the predisposing risk factors such as sex hormones, pregnancy, puerperium, which are unique to women, we reported these cases in order to emphasize the importance of considering this life-threatening, neurological emergency in women with headache complaint.
