Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Presenting as Focal Seizures: A Case Report and Review of Neuroimaging Findings
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition that can present with a wide range of neurological symptoms. This case report reviews a 56-year-old male patient who initially presented with focal seizures, highlighting the importance of considering CVST in the differential diagnosis of new-onset seizures, even in the absence of typical risk factors. The case also emphasizes the challenges in interpreting neuroimaging findings and the value of maintaining a high index of suspicion for CVST.
