Abstract

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a potentially life-threatening disease. Focal or generalized seizures are seen in 12-15% of the patients as the first presenting symptom of CVT.A previously healthy -36-year-old woman admitted with a history which was described as ‘she was rotating around her axis’. On examination, in the emergency service of our hospital the patient was fully alert and any neurologic abnormality was not detected. Her magnetic resonance-imaging (MRI) revealed a thrombosis in the left transverse sinus and a venous infarct in the left inferior temporal gyrus. We conclude that the case is atypical in terms of seizure semiology and for the reason that this type of seizure occurred as the first and the only symptom of CVT

Özet

Serebral venöz tromboz (SVT) hayatı tehdit edici bir hastalıktır. Fokal ya da jeneralize nöbetler hastaların %12-15’inde SVT’nin ilk semptomu olarak görülür. Daha önce sağlıklı olan 36 yaşındaki bir kadın kendi ekseni etrafında dönme şeklinde tanımlanan öyküsü ile başvurdu. Acil serviste yapılan muayenesinde hasta tamamen alert durumdaydı ve herhangi bir nörolojik defisit saptanmadı. Manyetik rezonans görüntülemesinde (MRG) sol transvers sinüste tromboz ve sol inferior temporal girusta venöz enfarktı saptandı. Olgunun, nöbet semiyolojisi ve bu nöbet tipinin SVT’nin ilk ve tek semptomu olarak görülmesi nedeniyle sunulmaya değer atipik bir olgu olduğunu düşünmekteyiz
