Discussion
A variety of diseases and conditions appear to cause CVT.1, 2, 3 Despite extensive investigations, the origin remains unknown in up to 35% of CVT cases.1 In the current case, causes or risk factors of CVT such as head trauma, coagulation disorder, infection, autoimmune disorders including angiitis and Behçet's disease, and malignancy were not detected. Iron deficiency anemia has been suggested to be associated with stroke, although it is still difficult to provide direct evidence.4, 5, 6, 7, 8

2012, Radiology Case ReportsCitation Excerpt :Iatrogenic causes are neurosurgery procedures, lumbar punctures, and medications (contraceptives, corticosteroids, epsilon-aminocaproic acid, thalidomide, tamoxifene, and EPO). Cerebral dural sinus thrombosis is rarely associated with spontaneous intracranial hypotension, hypothyroidism (9), or iron-deficiency anaemia (10). Clinical presentations include headaches (88%), focal neurological deficits (36%), papilledema (28%), mental status disorders (22%) and cranial nerve syndromes (18%) (6).
