Summary: | Key Clinical Message
Clinicians should consider central venous thrombosis (CVT) as a differential diagnosis in young adolescents with persistent headaches. It is essential to assess for concurrent CVT and dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF), particularly in those with a history of CVT.
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) and dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF) are uncommon vascular disorders with diverse clinical presentations. The coexistence of CVT and DAVF is a rare but important association that may impact the management and prognosis of affected patients. Prothrombotic conditions generally ranging from acquired to genetic, oral contraceptives, malignancy, puerperium, infection, and head injury are the common risk factors for cerebral venous thrombosis. Here, we present a case of 18 years males who developed recurrent cerebral thrombosis on the background of the presence of an arteriovenous fistula.
