Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is rare but now increasingly diagnosed in children. Early diagnosis is of prime importance as any delay leads to significant mortality and morbidity. It requires a high index of suspicion to diagnose CVST early as, often, the symptoms are vague and the signs are nonspecific. Varieties of aetiologies are described for generation of cerebral venous sinus thrombus. Iron deficiency anemia is one of the most important preventable causes of CVST. The most proposed mechanism in development of CVST in iron deficiency is secondary thrombocytosis. However, we describe a case of CVST due to iron deficiency in the absence of thrombocytosis.
脑静脉窦血栓形成（CVST）较为罕见，但目前在儿童中的诊断率日益增加。早期诊断至关重要，因为任何延误都会导致显著的死亡率和发病率。早期诊断CVST需要高度的怀疑指数，因为其症状往往模糊，体征也不具特异性。脑静脉窦血栓形成的病因多种多样。缺铁性贫血是CVST最重要的可预防病因之一。缺铁导致CVST最常提出的机制是继发性血小板增多症。然而，我们描述了一例在无血小板增多症情况下因缺铁导致的CVST病例。
