Abstract EN
Meningococcal meningitis has a wide range of neurological complications.
However, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) following infection with Neisseria meningitidis is uncommon.
We report a case of CVST in a 42-year-old male admitted with meningococcal meningitis.
The patient was managed with antibiotics.
Due to altered coagulation parameters observed in fulminant cases of meningococcemia, deployment of anticoagulation therapy, which would otherwise be the treatment of choice for CVST, is a dilemma.
