Abstract

OBJECTIVE: Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare disease with a high mortality rate. Pregnancy can increase the risk of intracranial venous sinus thrombosis formation, and this condition in turn elevates the maternal mortality rate. Therefore, early diagnosis and appropriate treatment of intracranial venous sinus thrombosis during pregnancy are crucial for the prognosis of pregnant women. CASE REPORT: We present a case of 30-year-old woman who had a spontaneous conception, thrombophilia occurring in the early stages of pregnancy, which was further aggravated by cerebral venous thrombosis. However, with appropriate medical intervention, a successful full-term delivery occurred. CONCLUSION: The management of cerebral venous thrombosis during pregnancy is of great importance. When the patient's condition permits, conservative treatment can be adopted, leading to a favorable prognosis for both the mother and the fetus.
