Abstract

Asptic intracranial sinovenous occlusion is an uncommon clinical entity.  The typical symptoms are severe headache, vomiting, convulsion, progressive drowsiness, papilledema and focal neurological signs.  It is commonly found in young women taking oral contraceptive pills.  A 29-year-old woman who presented with typical symptoms of cerebral sinovenous occlusion and had history of using oral contraceptive pills was reported.  Computed tomography scan and cerebral angiography showed sagittal sinus thrombosis.  The symptoms were fully recovered by supportive treatment without anticoagulant therapy.
