Inflammatory Bowel

Inflammatory bowel disease is characterized by a chronic inflammatory state and is therefore associated with abnormalities in coagulation and a hypercoagulable state. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare complication of inflammatory bowel disease yet contributes significant morbidity and mortality to those affected. Early diagnosis is critical, as a delay in diagnosis portends a worse prognosis. This paper seeks to highlight the increased risk of venous sinus thrombosis in patients with inflammatory bowel disease. We start by discussing the case of a seventeen-year-old female who presented with ulcerative colitis flare and developed new-onset seizures, found to be caused by a large venous sinus thrombosis.

Persistent Headache

Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is an infectious respiratory disease that is often the trigger for thrombotic complications. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) represents a small percentage of strokes, frequently proving to be a diagnostic challenge. We report a 31-year-old lady presenting with a persistent headache, 18 weeks after a mild COVID-19 illness. On her second visit, CT venography revealed extensive CVST. She was commenced on low-molecular-weight heparin, and was monitored closely in the neuro-medical intensive care unit. She was discharged 2 weeks later, with no residual neurological deficit, and commenced on a direct oral anticoagulant in the community. CVST should be considered in patients presenting with a refractory headache, with greater suspicion if previously infected with SARS-CoV-2.
