Background and Purpose— Pregnancy and the postpartum period are generally considered to be risk factors for cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), but no controlled studies have quantified the risk. Methods— Case-control study using data of consecutive adult patients with CVT from 5 academic hospitals and controls from the Dutch MEGA study (Multiple Environmental and Genetic Assessment of risk factors for venous thrombosis). Men, women over the age of 50, women using oral contraceptives or with a recent abortion or miscarriage were excluded. We adjusted for age and history of cancer, and stratified for pregnancy versus postpartum, and 0 to 6 versus 7 to 12 weeks postpartum. Results— In total 163/813 cases and 1230/6296 controls were included. Cases were younger (median 38 versus 41 years) and more often had a history of cancer (14% versus 4%) than controls. In total 41/163 (25%) cases and 82/1230 (7%) controls were pregnant or postpartum (adjusted odds ratio, 3.8; 95% CI, 2.4–6.0). The association was fully attributable to an increased risk of CVT during the postpartum period (adjusted odds ratio, 10.6; 95% CI, 5.6–20.0). We found no association between pregnancy and CVT (adjusted odds ratio, 1.2; 95% CI, 0.6–2.3). The risk was highest during the first 6 weeks postpartum (adjusted odds ratio, 18.7; 95% CI, 8.3–41.9). Conclusions— Women who have recently delivered are at increased risk of developing CVT, while there does not seem to be an increased risk of CVT during pregnancy.

Objective: Glucagonoma is a rare neuroendocrine tumor of the pancreas. We present the case of a young female patient who presented with the major clinical manifestations of glucagonoma syndrome. Methods: The major clinical manifestations of glucagonoma syndrome are described in a 44-year-old, female patient. Beyond glucagonoma, the patient also displayed deep venous thrombosis, depression, diabetes, and necrolytic migratory erythema. We discuss the difficulty of treatment of patients with glucagonoma due to the low prevalence of the disorder, scarcity of medical evidence, lateness of diagnosis with liver metastases in most cases, and poor response to chemotherapy with high rates of relapse after surgery. In this case, pancreatectomy and hepatic lobectomy followed by somatostatin analogue therapy was the chosen treatment strategy. Results: The clinical findings were pancreatic and hepatic masses, proximal deep venous thrombosis, depression, diabetes, and necrolytic migratory erythema. The patient also had elevated levels of glucagon. Pancreatectomy and right hepatic lobectomy were performed and confirmed the glucagonoma. Conclusion: Our case adds new knowledge about glucagonoma which is important due to the low incidence of the disease and the particular characteristics of the syndrome.

Background: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare variant of stroke in the general population, but an important subtype among pregnancy- and puerperium-related cases. Studies describing its risk factors and clinical characteristics are limited. The aim of our study is to disclose these aspects and compare with cases unrelated to pregnancy and puerperium. Materials and Methods: We performed a retrospective analysis including 88 consecutive cases from a tertiary neurology clinic with a diagnosis of CVT. Ten of the 88 cases (11.3%) appeared during the postpartum period. Results: The mean age of the puerperal CVT cases was 26.5 years. The main pregnancy-related risk factors besides puerperium were cesarean delivery (5/10), preeclampsia (2/10), and stillbirth (1/10). General risk factors for thrombosis, i.e., infection, smoking, and primary hypercoagulability, were identified in 50% of cases. Onset was in the first 3 weeks after delivery, with a mean value of 9.6 ± 5.6 days. Headache was present in 90% of postpartum CVT cases and in 76.1% of non-postpartum female cases. Seizures were more frequent in the postpartum group (60% vs. 34.8%). Onset was acute (<48 h) in 50% of postpartum cases and in 30.4% of the non-postpartum female group. The Rankin score at discharge was significantly lower in the postpartum group (0.22 vs. 0.7, p = 0.02), suggesting a more favorable short-term outcome. Conclusions: The early postpartum period represents an important risk for the development of CVT. Cesarean delivery and preeclampsia, besides general risk factors such as infection, smoking, and primary thrombophilia, contribute to enhanced risk. Puerperium-related CVT presents a more favorable outcome compared with CVT with other etiologies.
