AI Article Synopsis
- A 24-year-old female experienced sudden severe headaches following recent carbon monoxide poisoning, leading to the discovery of acute cerebral venous thrombosis through imaging.
- Previous studies indicate that carbon monoxide exposure can increase the risk of hypercoagulable states, such as deep vein thrombosis (DVT), but there is limited data on its connection to cerebral venous thrombosis.
- This case suggests that healthcare providers should consider the possibility of cerebral venous thrombosis in patients with a history of carbon monoxide poisoning who present with acute neurological symptoms.
Article Abstract
We report a 24year old female who presented with sudden and severe headaches after recent carbon monoxide poisoning. Imaging revealed an acute cerebral venous thrombosis. Prior studies have suggested that carbon monoxide is a risk factor for an acute hypercoagulable state (i.e. DVT). However, little data is available regarding the correlation between carbon monoxide poisoning and cerebral venous thrombosis. This case demonstrates that such a correlation should be considered in acute intracerebral thrombotic events.
