Abstrakt: The report explores a case of cerebral sinus venous thrombosis associated with hypereosinophilia, presenting a unique clinical scenario. A 22-year-old male presented with persistent headache for eight days, escalating in intensity, along with projectile vomiting and blurred vision. Despite the absence of typical indicators such as fever or respiratory symptoms, comprehensive evaluations revealed hypereosinophilia in the complete blood count. Imaging studies, including magnetic resonance angiography and venography, confirmed cerebral sinus venous thrombosis. The patient was successfully treated with a multidimensional approach, including anticoagulation therapy, corticosteroids, and supportive measures. This report highlights the concealed nature of hypereosinophilia in the context of cerebral sinus venous thrombosis and underscores the importance of a vigilant diagnostic approach in unravelling this silent association.
