Abstract
Cerebral sinus venous thrombosis is a rare phenomenon seen in pregnant woman and one of the major causes of stroke with high mortality. Cerebral venous thrombosis with intracranial hemorrhage has a poor outcome than with CSVT alone. Here, we report a case of a 27 year old female primi-gravida with 32 weeks of gestational age diagnosed as CSVT with hemorrhage, underwent LSCS followed by craniotomy in the same setting, managed successfully.
Keywords: CSVT, CVT, Pregnancy, LSCS, Craniectomy.
