Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis - Abstract
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare stroke-like syndrome with significant morbidity and mortality. It primarily affects the young, healthy patient. Recognition of risk factors, symptoms and its treatment can provide full recovery from neurological sequela. We present a case of a young post-partum patient that presented to our Emergency Department with headaches that were thought to be a complication of a post epidural procedure she received during labor and her treatment with epidural blood patches.
