“…When the brain infarction was found or suspected, the CTA and CTV were timely examined. 8 , 9 As CTA revealed nothing abnormal, we excluded cerebral infarction caused by arterial thrombosis. CTV examination revealed whether venous thrombosis led to cerebral infarction.…”

Hypoxia leads to increased red blood cells and blood viscosity at high altitude while moderate trauma increases coagulation in blood. Under the above-mentioned conditions, venous sinus thrombosis is more likely to occur. A patient suffering bilateral acetabular fractures together with the gradual disturbance of consciousness was admitted to our hospital. Though computed tomography arteriogram (CTA) of the brain displayed normal blood vessels; bilateral thalamus and brainstem infarction were found on head computed tomography (CT) and Galen vein thrombosis on cerebral computed tomography venography (CTV). Dehydration and tracheotomy were immediately conducted with antiplatelet, anticoagulant and neurotrophic medicine administered to the patient. After three days' treatment, the patient's consciousness gradually improved and eventually became clear enough to leave the hospital. On follow-up, no dysfunction was documented.
