Abstrakt: Cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) is an uncommon and potentially life-threatening neurological disorder that is often missed because its clinical and radiological symptoms are not specific. Snake bites are a rare cause of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis that must be recognized and treated promptly to improve survival. Here, we present a case of a 30-year-old male patient who had cerebral venous thrombosis after snake bite in the rural area of southern Somalia. After close monitoring with anticoagulation, the condition of the patient improved and discharged from the hospital with full of consciousness. There are only a few cases reported in the literature of snake bites causing cerebral venous thrombosis.
