Article: A case of cerebral venous thrombosis as the presenting sign of occult prostate cancer.
[show abstract] [hide abstract]
ABSTRACT: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a distinct disorder with highly variable symptoms and courses. Malignancy is known to be one of the predisposing factors of CVT. We present the case of a 69-year-old man with sudden behavioral changes. Brain MRI, magnetic resonance venography, and positive D-dimer assay confirmed the presence of CVT. The work-up for detecting the cause of the CVT revealed occult prostate cancer. Occult malignancy including prostate cancer should be strongly suspected in older patients with idiopathic CVT.Journal of Clinical Neurology 12/2009; 5(4):195-7. · 1.69 Impact Factor
