Cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) is an uncommon and potentially life-threatening neurological disorder that is often missed because its clinical and radiological symptoms are not specific. Snake bites are a rare cause of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis that must be recognized and treated promptly to improve survival. Here, we present a case of a 30-year-old male patient who had cerebral venous thrombosis after snake bite in the rural area of southern Somalia. After close monitoring with anticoagulation, the condition of the patient improved and discharged from the hospital with full of consciousness. There are only a few cases reported in the literature of snake bites causing cerebral venous thrombosis.
脑静脉窦血栓形成(CSVT)是一种少见且可能危及生命的神经系统疾病,由于其临床和影像学症状不具有特异性,常被漏诊。蛇咬伤是脑静脉窦血栓形成的罕见病因,必须及时识别和治疗,以提高生存率。在这里,我们报告了一例 30 岁男性患者,他在索马里南部农村地区被蛇咬伤后发生了脑静脉血栓形成。经过密切监测和抗凝治疗,患者的病情得到改善,并在意识完全清醒的情况下出院。文献中仅有少数几例报告了蛇咬伤导致脑静脉血栓形成的病例。
