Abstract
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) presenting as subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH) is infrequent. We present a man with CVT of right transverse sinus who presented a SAH in right parietal sinus. In the study we found a hyperhomocysteinemia in a heterozygous patient for the methylenetetrahydrofolate reductase C667T mutation. Our report highlights the value of an early diagnosis of CVT, the importance to identify possible causes that could be reversed with an appropriate treatment and the controversy about the moment of starting anticoagulant therapy in such cases.
