摘要
Dural sinus thrombosis following a head trauma is a rare condition,described in literature along with the lack of consensus regarding diagnosis and management.We present a case of a fifty-year-old man with a head injury and combined supratentorial-subtentorial epidural hematoma who was treated conservatively through the administration of low molecular weight heparin.The diagnosis and management of this condition are discussed based on a literature review.The early diagnosis may prevent potentially treatable poor outcomes.
