| Abstrakt: | Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), a rare but deadly disorder, causes papilledema as well as a number of frequent clinical symptoms, including excruciating headaches, focal seizures, and paralysis on one or both sides of the body. In this intriguing case study, we present the clinical narrative of a 45-year-old man who sought medical attention due to severe headaches persisting for two days. Concurrently, he experienced an abrupt onset of tingling and numbness in his left upper arm. Remarkably, magnetic resonance venography (MRV) revealed an absence of the sigmoid sinus, left transverse sinus, left jugular vein, and superior sagittal sinus, adding complexity to the diagnostic puzzle. Despite this anomaly, conventional brain MRI findings appeared normal. The patient reported a significant reduction in headache intensity following treatment, which included a year-long course of anticoagulant therapy. Subsequently, he gradually regained his health, underscoring the importance of multidisciplinary approaches in managing such challenging cases. This example emphasizes the significance of considering CVST while developing a differential diagnosis of various neurological disorders. Given the vast spectrum of clinical symptoms associated with CVST, it should be taken into account as a potential causative factor in a number of neurological illnesses, in order for patients to experience the best outcomes, quick diagnosis, and quality care.
