Anticoagulation for Cerebral Venous Thrombosis with Subarachnoid Hemorrhage: A Case Report

Abstract

AC for cases of CVT may remain beneficial in the presence of SAH. The time to start AC for CVT with hemorrhagic complications is unclear; however, AC was successful when given 4 days after the onset of symptoms in our case. It may be wise to repeat CT after at least 24 h from the onset of symptoms (to confirm regression or at least non-progression of the ICH) before starting AC. It may also be prudent to perform magnetic resonance angiography, or digital subtraction angiography to rule out a coincidental intracranial aneurysm before AC.
