  • Title: Acute subdural haemorrhage complicating cerebral venous thrombosis in a patient with protein C deficiency.
    Author: Lim EYT, Pai V, Sitoh YY, Purohit B.
    Journal: BMJ Case Rep; 2020 Nov 30; 13(11):. PubMed ID: 33257369.
    Abstract:
    Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) directly causing subdural haemorrhage (SDH) is a rare entity. We present a case of an 18-year-old female patient who presented with severe occipital headache. Neuroimaging showed acute SDH and CVT. She was eventually discovered to have underlying protein C deficiency. She was treated with anticoagulation and made an uneventful recovery. We aim to highlight the epidemiology, risk factors and aetiopathogenesis of CVT. We have included a literature review of previously described 13 case studies/reports describing SDH associated with CVT and a brief discussion of the dilemmas associated with management.
