lüll Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis in a nephrotic child Rodrigues MM; Zardini LR; de Andrade MC; Mangia CM; Carvalhaes JT; Vilanova LCArq Neuropsiquiatr 2003[Dec]; 61 (4): 1026-9Nephrotic syndrome in infancy and childhood is known to be associated with a hypercoagulable state and thromboembolic complications, but cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CST) is a very rare and serious one, with only a few isolated reports in the literature. A case is presented of a 9-year-old boy with nephrotic syndrome that acutely developed signs and symptoms of intracranial hypertension syndrome. CST was diagnosed on cranial CT and MRI and he gradually recovered after treatment with anticoagulants. The diagnosis of CST should be considered in any patient with nephrotic syndrome who develops neurologic symptoms. The discussion of this case, coupled with a review of the literature, emphasizes that early diagnosis is essential for institution of anticoagulation therapy and a successful outcome. This report also illustrates the difficulties that may be encountered in managing such a patient.|Child[MESH]|Humans[MESH]|Magnetic Resonance Angiography[MESH]|Male[MESH]|Nephrotic Syndrome/*complications/diagnosis[MESH]|Phlebography[MESH]|Radiographic Image Enhancement[MESH]|Sinus Thrombosis, Intracranial/*complications/diagnosis[MESH]|Tomography, X-Ray Computed[MESH] |
