Introduction: Cerebral venous sinus Thrombosis is the unusual cause of a stroke affecting both reproductively old and genetically or thrombotic risk factors (CVST). The superior sagittal sinus and the cross sinus are two most common places for thrombus formation. A 26-year-old Man was taken to the Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital with a new-onset complex-partial convulsion with secondary generalization, headache, and emesis seven days before presentation. Later on he experienced headache which was acute in onset and continuous in nature which was associated with fever. Patient had 1 episode of seizers lasting for 3-4 mints. Which was associated with fall on ground. He complained about weakness in left upper limb.
The patient was then transferred to our care institution for definitive management. On arrival, the patient’s neurological examination was done and he reported a severe headache. MRI imaging performed at our institution. The patient was followed clinically, and no posttreatment imaging studies were performed. Following a 3-day hospital stay, the patient reported a significant reduction in headache severity and was discharged home.
