Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis and Posterior Reversible Encephalopathy Syndrome Coexisting in a Woman: A Rare Coincidence.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) and posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES) are two rare diseases which may present with similar symptoms and signs. We report a case with coexisting PRES and CVST in a 34 years old postpartum female presented with multiple episodes of generalized seizures and bilateral vision loss after delivery. MRI brain and venography revealed left transverse sinus, sigmoid sinus and internal cerebral vein thrombosis with vasogenic edema in bilateral parieto-occipital, right temporal and left frontal area, which was suggestive of posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome (PRES). She was treated with antihypertensive, low molecular weight heparin (LMWH), oral anticoagulant and responded well to the treatment.
