Abstract

Cerebral venous
thrombosis is a rare subtype of cerebrovascular diseases in which the dural
sinuses and cerebral veins are partially or completely occluded. In this
article, we present a case of sinus venous thrombosis with venous hemorrhagic
infarction referred with alexia without agraphia and transcortical sensory
aphasia clinic. Our case is discussed in order to emphasize that the clinical
features are rare, the lesion has atypical localization and sinus and venous
thrombosis may present with different clinics.

Serebral venöz tromboza bağlı agrafisiz aleksi

Abstract

Serebral venöz tromboz, dural sinus ve serebral venlerin
parsiyel ya da komplet olarak oklüde olduğu serebrovasküler hastalıkların nadir
görülen bir alt türüdür. Bu yazıda agrafisiz aleksi ve transkortikal sensoriyel
afazi kliniği ile başvurmuş, venöz hemorajik infarktı olan bir sinüs ven
trombozu olgusu sunulmuştur. Olgumuz klinik özelliklerinin ender görülmesi,
lezyonunun atipik lokalizasyonda olması ve sinüs ven trombozunun farklı
kliniklerle karşımıza çıkabileceğinin vurgulanması amacıyla tartışılmıştır.
