Abstract:
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare condition accounting for 3-4 cases per million . This represents 0.5%-3% cases of all strokes predominantly in younger adults .Usually such cases present with headache, blurring of vision, diplopia ,loss of control over movements in the body and at times seizures. Due to its varied presentation cerebral venous sinus thrombosis can be very difficult to diagnose .We present an interesting case of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis that masqueraded itself as Guillian Barre Syndrome.
