# Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Presenting as Focal Seizures: A Case Report and Review of Neuroimaging Findings

## TL;DR

This case report highlights cerebral venous sinus thrombosis presenting as focal seizures, stressing the need for careful diagnosis.

## Contribution

The paper adds a rare clinical case of CVST mimicking seizures without typical risk factors.

## Key findings

- CVST can present as focal seizures without typical risk factors.
- Neuroimaging interpretation can be challenging in such cases.
- A high index of suspicion is crucial for timely diagnosis of CVST.

## Abstract

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition that can present with a wide range of neurological symptoms. This case report reviews a 56-year-old male patient who initially presented with focal seizures, highlighting the importance of considering CVST in the differential diagnosis of new-onset seizures, even in the absence of typical risk factors. The case also emphasizes the challenges in interpreting neuroimaging findings and the value of maintaining a high index of suspicion for CVST.
