    Abstract:
    PURPOSE: To report cerebral venous thrombosis as a complication of intravenous corticosteroid treatment in a patient with multiple sclerosis. METHOD: A case report. A 44-year-old woman with a previous diagnosis of multiple sclerosis presented with panuveitis and retinal perivasculitis. Intravenous pulse corticosteroid therapy was given for three days. RESULTS: The panuveitis and retinal periphlebitis began to resolve within one week; however, ten days after the last corticosteroid dose, the patient was hospitalized with the diagnosis of cerebral venous thrombosis. CONCLUSION: Although intravenous corticosteroid treatment for uveitis associated with multiple sclerosis can be very helpful, the patient should be monitored closely for systemic side effects.
