ABSTRACT

We report a case of a female patient of 28 years, diagnosed with antiphospholipid syndrome, who starts his current condition with incapacitating headache, disorientation, motor transcortical aphasia and bilateral papilledema, who introduced evolution with cerebral venous thrombosis. We review the literature of cerebral venous thrombosis as well as their imaging data. The antiphospholipid syndrome (APS), is an autoimmune disease, multisystemic which affects multiple organs and systems. The cerebral venous thrombosis (TVC), is frecuent in APS, it is more common in women than in men, (3-1), which is related in many occasions with the pregnancy, puerperium and use of oral contraceptives. Usually start subacute (42 %), presenting a triad of intracranial hypertension (headache, vomiting, and papilledema), as well as focal syndromes such as seizures and focal neurological deficits. The headache is the most common symptom, occurring in 80% of the patients.
