First Case

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is an often under-diagnosed, life-threatening condition. We report the first case of CVST in Palestine of a 39-year-old female who presented with a history of loss of consciousness preceded by severe vertigo and headache. Brain CT scan without contrast was done, in which no abnormality was detected. Further Brain MRI and MRV studies with contrast showed thrombosis of left transverse sinus with extension to left sigmoid sinus and left jugular vein. The patient was anticoagulated and admitted to the ICU for regular monitoring and frequent brain CT scans to rule out hemorrhagic transformation. The patient made a full recovery. Lab and molecular studies were carried out as an outpatient to investigate the etiology of this presentation. The aim of this case report is to demonstrate the importance of early detection and treatment of CVST for a successful outcome.

Psychiatric Syndrome

ABSTRACT Although catatonia is a well-known psychiatric syndrome, there are many possible systemic and neurological etiologies. The aim of this case report was to present a case of a patient with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and infarction in which catatonia was the clinical manifestation of a possible nonconvulsive status epilepticus. To our knowledge, only one such case has been reported in the literature, which had a simplified diagnostic investigation. It is important to correctly recognize the organic cause underlying catatonia in order to treat the patient as soon as possible thereby improving outcome. Therefore, physicians need to update their knowledge on catatonia, recognizing that it can be part of a psychiatric or neurologic condition.
