A Rare Presentation of CVT
Main Article Content
Abstract
Cerebral Venous Thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon condition presenting with varying clinical symptoms, posing difficulty in diagnosis. Patients present with headaches, focal neurological deficits, seizures, and altered consciousness. CVT does not have a single clinical presentation, and it is important to consider CVT in all brain syndromes, especially young patients, and confirm it through imaging studies. Other uncommon presentations of CVT include single or multiple cranial nerve palsies.
