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.

Venous Sinus Thrombosis

An 18-year-old man presented with persistent isolated headache 2 weeks after recovering from acute COVID-19 illness. Extensive cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) was detected on CT venogram despite him having no other thrombotic risk factors. CVST can complicate COVID-19. A high index of clinical suspicion is warranted as it can often have a subtle presentation with paucity of neurological symptoms.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a hematological malignancy. There are many risk factors for thrombus development in patients with ALL, and thrombi may develop in different parts of the body. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare complication of ALL that usually appears during treatment. We present a patient who developed CVST twice, once before diagnosis and once after treatment for ALL. We also reviewed the literature describing ALL and CVST.
