Abstract:
Key Clinical Message
The concurrent association of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis and
immune thrombocytopenic purpura is one of the rarest occurrences. There
exist very scarce evidence based medical literature regarding
pathophysiology resulting cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in patients
of immune thrombocytopenic purpura hence there lacks standard guidelines
guiding prompt management in such cases.
