Cerebral venous thrombosis in a patient with non-Hodgkin lymphoma in remission

Abstract:

Introduction: Cerebral venous thrombosis is an unusual complication, scarcely reported in patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma with indolent and not too aggressive type. Case report: We describe the clinical picture of a woman with low degree non-Hodgkin lymphoma with an evolution of one year remission post treatment, who developed a sinus rectus thrombosis without relationship with intracranial extension nor treatment induced hipercoagulability state. The first manifestation was isolated migraine. Conclusion: In patients with non-Hodgkin lymphoma and isolated migraine is important to perform neuroimaging studies in order to exclude a cerebral venous thrombosis.
