- Abstract
- Iron deficiency anemia has been rarely reported as a cause of cerebral venous thrombosis but its pathogenic relation-ship
with cerebral venous thrombosis is still unknown. A previously healthy 25-year old woman presented with
headache, nausea, vomiting, and slight confusion. A magnetic resonance imaging and venogram revealed an infarction
involving the right frontal subcortical white matter and left thalamus, with thrombosis in the internal cerebral vein, the
vein of Galen. Etiological investigations for cerebral venous thrombosis disclosed no precipitating factors other than
iron deficiency anemia. The patient’s symptoms rapidly improved with anticoagulation and no neurologic deficits
remained. We report a rare case of deep cerebral vein thrombosis associated with iron deficiency anemia without reac-tive
thrombocytosis.
