Abstract
Cerebral Vein Thrombosis associated with preeclampsia is a rare phenomenon that is not fully understood and presents a potentially challenging situation for treatment and future management. This case presents a 25-year old female with a history of gestational diabetes and hypertriglyceridemia presenting three days post-partum for an eclamptic seizure complicated by cerebral vein thrombosis and HELLP syndrome. The patient’s presenting symptoms were alleviated by eclampsia procedure, anti-anxiety medication, and two different types of anticoagulation. Thrombectomy was not indicated, as imaging did not suggest any large vein clotting. Future check-ins, as well as careful considerations in the event of future pregnancies, should be pursued by the physicians. Testing and gaining a better understanding of the pathophysiology behind cerebral vein thrombosis proves to be difficult as the occurrence is rare, but looking to previous literature to further an understanding of eclampsia and how it progresses in the body may help to provide a greater insight into similar cases and the approach that should be used in said cases.
