ABSTRACT
Nephrotic syndrome is associated with proteinuria, hypoalbuminemia, edema, hyperlipidemia, and thromboembolic complications. Thromboembolic complications of nephrotic syndrome are common, especially in the renal vein, while cerebral venous thrombosis is a less frequent complication of minimal change nephrotic syndrome. The pathophysiology remains unclear, but various changes in coagulant and anticoagulant factors may be responsible. We report a case of cerebral venous thrombosis associated with nephrotic syndrome. A 19-year-old man was admitted with a headache and nausea. Cerebral thrombosis was diagnosed on brain computed tomography and magnetic resonance imaging. He recovered gradually after treatment with anticoagulants and achieved control of the nephrotic syndrome. A discussion of this case, coupled with a review of the literature, emphasizes that an early diagnosis is essential for anticoagulation therapy and a successful outcome.
