Dural sinus thrombosis following minor head injury is rare. We report such a case in a child after mild head injury.A 4-year-old child presented with giddiness and vomiting after a fall. Clinical examination was unremarkable. Magnetic resonance venogram revealed thrombosis of the right sigmoid and transverse sinuses.The patient was managed conservatively.Repeat scans 10 weeks after injury showed recanalisation of the thrombosis.Dural sinus thrombosis should be excluded in children presenting with persistent giddiness and vomiting after minor head injury. |
