Abstract:
The association of spontaneous intracranial hypotension with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is rare.

spontaneous intracranial hypotension. The patient presented no other thrombotic risk factors except
for spontaneous intracranial hypotension. This case adds to the evidence that spontaneous intracranial
hypotension is a risk factor for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.
