1. Introduction:
The estimated prevalence of CVT is 1.3–1.6 cases per 100,000 people and accounts for 0.5 % of all stroke cases. Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an important cause of stroke in young adults caused by complete or partial occlusion of the major cerebral venous sinuses or the smaller feeding cortical veins(1). Compared with the general population, the incidence of CVT is higher in children and women. CVT can be caused by different conditions such as infectious, structural, hypercoagulable states, hematological, hormonal, collagen, vascular diseases, and oral contraceptive pills among other causes(2). However, in rare cases, inflammatory bowel diseases (IBD), such as Crohn’s disease and Ulcerative colitis (UC) have also been reported to predispose CVT(3). We herein present an unusual case of a young female with UC under treatment presenting with CVT and bilateral thalamic infarction.
