Abstract Here, we report the case of a 27-year-old woman with tuberous sclerosis complex who underwent successful endovascular intervention for cerebral venous thrombosis at the superior sagittal sinus. She had protein S deficiency and a long-term history of anemia caused by menorrhagia from uterine fibroids, possibly leading to a hypercoagulable state. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis accounts for ~0.5–1% of all strokes. Several cases of venous thrombosis in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex and protein S or protein C deficiency have been reported, but further studies are needed to identify whether an association of this rare combination may be explained.

This case represents a unique example of stroke in a young patient involving major venous sinuses as well as major artery in a span of 6 months. After evaluation, he was found to have an abnormal thrombophilia profile. In young patients with recurrent stroke, investigating for an abnormal thrombophilia profile is crucial.
