ABSTRACT

The case report of a 58 years patient with a history of idiopathic ulcerous colitis who was admitted in the Intensive Care Unit of "Dr. Juan Bruno Zayas Alfonso" Teaching General Hospital from Santiago de Cuba for presenting signs of neurological changes is presented. It was identified as a cerebral venous thrombosis through the computerized axial tomography. After confirming the absence of symptoms of his initial disease by means of an endoscopic study, an anticoagulant treatment with low molecular weight heparin was began, with which the complete regression of the neurological signs was achieved.
