Spontaneous intracranial hypotension and venous sinus thrombosis
Practical Neurology, 2013Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) is an uncommon but well-recognised cause of orthostatic headache. Subdural effusions or haemorrhage are well-known complications of SIH. However, that SIH may lead to venous sinus thrombosis, a cause of high-pressure headache, is not widely appreciated. We present a case of spontaneous intracranial hypotension

Thunderclap Headache: Presentation of Intracranial Sinus Thrombosis?
Clinical Radiology, 2003Intracranial sinus thrombosis (ICST) and subarachnoid haemorrhage (SAH) are common presentations to neuroscience departments, which may indicate potentially life-threatening neurological conditions, however the two disorders require completely different treatment.

Intracranial hypotension and venous sinus thrombosis: two postpartum headaches
Postgraduate Medical Journal, 2011Dural puncture from epidural anaesthesia can result in intracranial hypotension with postural headache. Intracranial hypotension and the puerperium have been associated with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). We report a postpartum patient in whom neuroimaging demonstrated intracranial hypotension and CVST following epidural anaesthesia.

Dural sinus thrombosis in spontaneous intracranial hypotension
Journal of Neurology, 2006Dural sinus thrombosis (DST) is rarely associated with spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH). Engorgement of the venous system, caused by the CSF loss that occurs in SIH, is considered to favour the thrombosis, although signs of both SIH and DST are usually seen simultaneously at the first diagnostic MRI. We observed two patients with SIH and DST.

OTITIC SINUS THROMBOSIS CAUSING INTRACRANIAL HYPERTENSION
Archives of Otolaryngology - Head and Neck Surgery, 1939In this presentation an explanation is sought for the syndrome of increased intracranial pressure which occasionally accompanies an attack of otitis media and which is not due to meningitis, encephalitis or abscess of the brain. Quincke1in 1896 described a syndrome in which the signs of increased intracranial pressure were associated with the finding ...

Meningeal sarcoidosis causing intracranial hypertension secondary to dural sinus thrombosis
The British Journal of Radiology, 1983Up to 5% of cases of sarcoidosis involve the central nervous system and may present with neurological features alone (Delaney, 1977). The characteristic granulomata are usually found in the basal meninges and cause multiple cranial nerve palsies or hydrocephalus. The latter is caused by outflow obstruction to the basal cisterns or the fourth ventricle (

Intracranial venous sinus thrombosis: Medical and surgical management considerations
BOHR International Journal of Neurology and Neuroscience, 2023Cerebral venous thrombosis is a serious neurological condition characterized by thrombus formation in the venous sinuses or cerebral veins. Although rare, it is a potentially fatal condition that requires prompt diagnosis and treatment. This review aims to present the most current trends in our understanding of CVT risk factors, diagnosis, medical ...

Benign Intracranial Hypertension, Monoclonal Gammopathy, and Superior Sagittal Sinus Thrombosis
Southern Medical Journal, 1983We report a case of benign intracranial hypertension associated with monoclonal gammopathy. The course was complicated by superior sagittal sinus thrombosis which we believe to be related to acetazolamide therapy. Response to volume expansion with colloid and crystalloid solutions was dramatic.

Open thrombectomy combined with thrombolysis in massive intracranial sinus thrombosis
Acta Neurochirurgica, 1994A case of complete thrombosis of the superior sagittal sinus in a pregnant women with multiple haemorrhages and hydrocephalus is described. Due to acute onset and progressive neurological deterioration, the decision was taken to remove the clot surgically.
