Abstract
Introduction Dural venous sinus thrombosis (DVST) is a rare but potentially fatal cerebrovascular condition. Pregnant women are at greater risk of DVST because of their hypercoagulable state. Report A 20-year-old post-partum woman presented to the emergency department after an episode of seizure and complained only of a headache and chest pain. A T 1 -weighted magnetic resonance (MR) image of her brain with contrast revealed an empty delta sign in her super sagittal sinus. Discussion Management of dural venous sinus thrombosis during or after pregnancy is a difficult issue that requires an approach based on the individual patient profile.
