Abstract

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare but dangerous condition occurring with an incidence of 3-4 cases per million per year. CVST presents a diagnostic challenge due to its varied presentation pattern. Here we report a case of a 40 year old diabetic, male, presenting with sudden severe headache with quadriplegia, where two predisposing factors were found.
