    Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare cerebrovascular disorder primarily affecting young adults, often presenting with nonspecific symptoms.

  • 2

    An 18-year-old female with CVST experienced fluctuating headaches, nausea, and seizures, leading to her admission and subsequent imaging.

  • 3

    Endovascular thrombectomy was performed after the patient's condition worsened, resulting in significant clinical improvement and reduced thrombus burden.

  • 4

    The patient was discharged on long-term anticoagulation therapy and advised to avoid estrogen-based contraception due to potential risk factors.

    This case highlights the importance of early diagnosis and multidisciplinary management in treating CVST, especially in young patients.
