Background. The association between cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) and multiple sclerosis (MS) has already been reported in patients with clinically definite MS in relation to intravenous methylprednisolone (IVMP) or previously performed lumbar puncture (LP).Case Summery. We report a 29-year-old Indian female who presented with a clinically isolated spinal cord syndrome according to the revised 2010 McDonald Criteria. She developed CVT after a lumbar puncture and two days of finishing the course of IVMP.Conclusion. We conclude that the sequence of doing lumbar puncture followed by high-dose IVMP may increase the risk of CVT. A prophylactic anticoagulation may be indicated in this setting.

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) has been described in several cases of clinically definite multiple sclerosis (MS). In the majority of these, lumbar puncture followed by intravenous corticosteroid treatment was suspected as the cause. We report what is, to our knowledge, the first case of a patient with a multifocal clinically isolated syndrome suggestive of MS onset, who developed multiple CVT after lumbar puncture and during high-dose i.v. corticosteroid treatment. We conclude that the sequence ‘lumbar puncture followed by corticosteroid treatment’ may be a contributory risk factor for the development of CVT when associated with other risk factors.

BackgroundOptic neuritis is recognised by the international classification of headache disorders as a painful cranial nerve lesion. A lumbar puncture may be performed in the investigation of optic neuritis. Postdural puncture headache (PDPH) due to intracranial hypotension is a frequent complication of this procedure. In contrast, cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare but potentially fatal complication of dural puncture. A few studies have identified an association between iron deficiency anaemia and venous thrombosis. There are no reports linking CVT with lumbar puncture and iron deficiency anaemia.Methods and resultsWe present a 32-year-old woman with optic neuritis and iron deficiency anaemia complicated by a PDPH and CVT.ConclusionCVT should be considered in a patient with persistent headache, recent lumbar puncture and iron deficiency anaemia. Early recognition and treatment of this condition are vital to avoiding mortality and morbidity.

Deep cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare pathology and hard to diagnose cause of the acute cerebrovascular diseases. Commonly, the veins of Galen and Rosenthal affected by the non-isolated deep cerebral venous thrombosis are described in most of the publications. The article presents a clinical case of an extremely rare isolated deep cerebral venous thrombosis in a female patient aged 31 years with a burdened obstetric history and thrombophilia. The disease onset started with increasing hypertension headache, congestive changes in the fundus, cerebellar and pyramidal signs. Magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) of the brain revealed a pattern of a multi-focal brain lesion. Thus, the primary diagnosis of «multiple sclerosis» was established, so the patient received pulse therapy. Differential diagnosis was conducted with systemic connective tissue diseases. Regression of headaches, of changes in the fundus, dynamic neuroimaging data, and the results of hematology test made it possible to diagnose «deep cerebral venous thrombosis». During the anticoagulant therapy, there was a positive dynamics: the foci significantly regressed according to MRI data, the patient became pregnant and delivered a healthy child. The article describes the characteristics of MRI images on deep cerebral venous thrombosis, which can be used to diagnose this patholo gy.
