Considerations for the management of clinical complications (seizures, hydrocephalus, intracranial hypertension, and neurological deterioration) are also summarized. Early treatment can keep a clot from breaking off and traveling through the circulatory system to the lungs (called a pulmonary embolism, or PE), which can be life-threatening. Pregnancy and puerperium are well-known risk factors for CVT. The reported incidence of cerebral venous thrombosis in pregnancy is in the range of 1 : 10000 to 1 : 25000, and there are around 7 reported cases in postpartum patients following dural puncture [2, 3].

The incidence of spontaneous abortion, prematurity, SGA babies and perinatal death are high. These include pregnancy, dehydration, medications, hereditary coagulopathies, systemic disease, trauma, infection, and idiopathic causes (1, 6).
