We report a case of a 38-year-old Indian male who presented with severe throbbing headache spreading diffusely from occipital to nuchal regions. He was detected to have superior cerebral (sagittal) venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) with severe hypertriglyceridemia without any coagulation abnormalities or autoimmune disease. Our case highlights the need for clinicians to consider CVST among patients with uncontrolled hypertriglyceridemia. New prognostic measures may become necessary having an implication on the risk of recurrence and duration of anticoagulant therapy in CVST.

Myxedema coma is associated with decreased mental status and hyponatremia among patients with diagnosed or undiagnosed hypothyroidism. The diagnosis is challenging in the absence of universally accepted diagnostic criteria, but should be considered as a differential even in cases with competing established diagnoses. All patients should receive intensive care level treatment. Even with optimal treatment, mortality is very high.
