Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare and infrequent condition in pregnant women. Hemorrhagic infarction can occur in early stages of cerebral venous thrombosis. This article reports a rare case of cerebral transverse sinus thrombosis presenting in pregnant women with unidentified secondary hypoparathyroidism, highlighting the difficulties in identifying this rare case from common diagnosis like preeclampsia. According to the differential diagnoses for this case, it can be a good exercise to strengthen clinical reasoning in students and medical teachers to improve the quality of clinical education.
