Extensive Dural Venous Thrombosis With Associated Intracerebral Hemorrhage and Subarachnoid Hemorrhage Due to Protein S Deficiency: A Case Report

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon but potentially severe condition, typically affecting younger individuals, pregnant women, and those with underlying thrombophilia. We report a rare case of a 63-year-old female who presented with altered mental status, facial droop, and slurred speech and was found to have an extensive dural venous thrombosis complicated by intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage due to protein S deficiency. Given her diagnosis of protein S deficiency and thrombosis, careful anticoagulation was initiated, resulting in both clinical and radiographic improvement.

Abstract

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an uncommon but potentially severe condition, typically affecting younger individuals, pregnant women, and those with underlying thrombophilia. We report a rare case of a 63-year-old female who presented with altered mental status, facial droop, and slurred speech and was found to have an extensive dural venous thrombosis complicated by intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage due to protein S deficiency. Given her diagnosis of protein S deficiency and thrombosis, careful anticoagulation was initiated, resulting in both clinical and radiographic improvement.
