Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a hematological malignancy. There are many risk factors for thrombus development in patients with ALL, and thrombi may develop in different parts of the body. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare complication of ALL that usually appears during treatment. We present a patient who developed CVST twice, once before diagnosis and once after treatment for ALL. We also reviewed the literature describing ALL and CVST.

Inflammatory Bowel

Inflammatory bowel disease is characterized by a chronic inflammatory state and is therefore associated with abnormalities in coagulation and a hypercoagulable state. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare complication of inflammatory bowel disease yet contributes significant morbidity and mortality to those affected. Early diagnosis is critical, as a delay in diagnosis portends a worse prognosis. This paper seeks to highlight the increased risk of venous sinus thrombosis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. We start by discussing the case of a seventeen-year-old female who presented with ulcerative colitis flare and developed new-onset seizures, found to be caused by a large venous sinus thrombosis.

Venous Sinus Thrombosis

An 18-year-old man presented with persistent isolated headache 2 weeks after recovering from acute COVID-19 illness. Extensive cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) was detected on CT venogram despite him having no other thrombotic risk factors. CVST can complicate COVID-19. A high index of clinical suspicion is warranted as it can often have a subtle presentation with paucity of neurological symptoms.
