A 28 year old woman with angiographically proven thrombosis of right cerebral transverse sinus was studied from a clotting point of view. The changes noted were decreased fibrinolytic activity and increased collagen platelet aggregation. The patient presented loss of consciousness, aphasia, mental confusion, migh right hemiparesis, papilloedema. The treatment with dipyridamole, aspirin and a nicotinic acid derivative was followed by good results. After about a month the fundus reverted to normal. A clotting study is indicative in every patient with cerebral venous thrombosis.

Abstract

A 28 year old woman with angiographically proven thrombosis of right cerebral transverse sinus was studied from a clotting point of view. The changes noted were decreased fibrinolytic activity and increased collagen platelet aggregation. The patient presented loss of consciousness, aphasia, mental confusion, migh right hemiparesis, papilloedema. The treatment with dipyridamole, aspirin and a nicotinic acid derivative was followed by good results. After about a month the fundus reverted to normal. A clotting study is indicative in every patient with cerebral venous thrombosis.
