Abstract
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis represents 0.5 % of all cases worldwide. Is a complex pathology cause the variability in presentation mode, prognosis and different medical conditions that cause it. The cause is the obstruction of cerebral venous drainage, the main manifestation in infants and children are seizures.
This is the case of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in a pediatric patient with protein S deficiency, the goal of this case is to recognize the importance of suspicion and early identification of the disease and the search of the trigger. The cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a serious entity, but potentially treatable and prognosis depend on the timing of diagnosis and intervention.
