ABSTRACT |
A case of puerperal cerebral hemorrhagic infarction with venous thrombosis in a 36-year-old female is reported. Brain CT scan showed an isodensity area surrounded by ill-defind low density medially in the right frontal lobe, and the most anterior portion of superior sagittal sinus and its draining veins were prominent, but draining veins in the frontal high convexity were not filled in the venous phase of the right carotid angiogram. Osteoplastic craniotomy on the right frontal area was performed to remove the lesion which was mistakenly understood as a mass. Abnormal brain parenchyma was excised from the right frontal subcortical region.
Microscopic and pathological evaluation confirmed the diagnosis of hemorrhagic infarction due to venous thrombosis. |
Key Words:
