Central venous thrombosis misdiagnosed as eclampsia in an emergency department
Emergency Department, University Hospital of North Staffordshire, Stoke on Trent, Staffordshire, UK

Central venous sinus thrombosis can present in the emergency department with a diverse range of symptoms and signs, including a non-neurological scenario, and it thus poses a diagnostic challenge. It is amenable to treatment, so a patient history and awareness of the condition prompts early diagnosis and instigation of treatment which may reduce morbidity and mortality.
