Case report of isolated vein of trolard thrombosis in an HBsAg-positive patient

Among the many infective causes of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), viral hepatitis is been regarded as a rare associated condition. We report on a 46-years-old man presenting CVT associated with hepatitis B infection. Hepatitis C being a rare cause of CVT is well documented in the literature. There is also mention of association of hepatitis B being associated with CVT to the best of our knowledge. Both these conditions are hypothesized as thrombogenic agents in the available literature, and further research is required to confirm the same. We suggest that virus B serology should be performed in the cases of cerebral venous thrombosis with unknown etiology.
