Sudden deterioration of visual functions warrants comprehensive ophthalmic examination with evaluation for systemic association. Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon disorder that can present with neurological deficits. We report a young female patient aged 28 years who presented with severe headache and sudden diminution of vision and was subsequently diagnosed with hyperthyroidism and CVT. Management of CVT and hyperthyroidism hastened full recovery of visual functions.
