Trombosis venosa cerebral recurrente en el embarazo

Abstract

Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare disease, but with a potentially serious prognosis. It is a condition that can be associated with pregnancy because of the hemostatic changes during gestation. It has a wide range of signs and symptoms. Early diagnosis and treatment improve prognosis. We report the case of a 30-year-old woman, at week 8 of pregnancy, who came to the emergency department for severe headache and whose magnetic resonance imaging revealed a cerebral venous thrombosis. The patient had a second episode at week 33, despite correct anticoagulation received.
