Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare neurologic manifestation of antiphospholipid syndrome. We report a case of a 49-year-old woman who presented to the emergency department with recurrent episodes of transient clumsiness of the left upper extremity. The results of unenhanced brain computed tomography and electroencephalography were unremarkable. Serial neuroimages revealed superior sagittal sinus thrombosis. Thrombophilia screen disclosed positive lupus anticoagulant. In this case report, we aim to emphasize the significance of recognizing an unusual presentation of antiphospholipid syndrome.
脑静脉窦血栓形成是抗磷脂综合征的一种罕见神经系统表现。我们报告了一例 49 岁女性病例,她因左侧上肢反复短暂笨拙而就诊于急诊科。未增强脑计算机断层扫描和脑电图结果无明显异常。连续神经影像学显示上矢状窦血栓形成。血栓形成倾向筛查显示狼疮抗凝剂阳性。在本病例报告中,我们旨在强调认识抗磷脂综合征不常见表现的重要性。
