Abstract EN
The dural sinus thrombosis is an uncommon complication of a commonly done procedure of central venous catheterization.
We present a case of massive hemorrhagic venous infarct with gross cerebral edema due to dural sinus thrombosis along with right internal jugular vein thrombus.
A 21-year-old male patient presented to the emergency department with fever and swelling of the right neck four days following discharge after his prior hospitalization two weeks ago for acute renal failure due to severe gastroenteritis, when he underwent hemodialysis through right internal jugular access.
On presentation, he was conscious, with swelling on right side of the neck, which was diagnosed as right internal jugular vein occlusion.
However, he rapidly deteriorated and developed signs of raised intracranial pressure despite being on treatment with heparin.
He was diagnosed as having massive hemorrhagic cerebral venous infarct with gross cerebral edema complicated with shift of the ventricles to the left due to dural sinus thrombosis.
Despite emergency decompressed craniotomy, he succumbed in the next two days due to coning.
Asymptomatic catheter-related thrombosis is frequent in the intensive care units, but major complications like retrograde extension into dural sinus causing thrombosis is rare.
A high index of suspicion is required to diagnose this major catastrophe for an early and meaningful intervention.
