Oral contraceptives caused venous sinus thrombosis complicated with cerebral artery infarction and secondary epileptic seizures: A case report and literature review
Rationale:Venous sinus thrombosis is a special type of cerebrovascular disease. Its incidence is low and its symptoms are lack of specificity. And its early diagnosis and treatment are very difficult.Patient concerns:This paper reported a rare case of a 43-year-old female who presented with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) complicated with cerebral artery infarction and secondary epileptic seizures due to oral contraceptives.Diagnoses:The final diagnosis was intracranial venous sinus thrombosis, acute cerebral infarction in the left parietal lobe, intracranial hypertension syndrome, and continuous epilepsy.Interventions:The patient recovered well after active treatment.Outcomes:Three months after discharge, the muscle strength of the right limb of the patient was significantly increased, and no recurrence of neurological symptoms occurred.Lessons:In conclusion, early diagnosis, correct evaluation, and standard treatment are still important challenges for CVT. Active treatment is recommended.
