ABSTRACT
Ulcerative colitis is an idiopathic inflammatory bowel condition that may be worsened by thromboembolic events such deep vein thrombosis, cerebral venous thrombosis, and pulmonary embolism. Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare but critical consequence of ulcerative colitis characterized by high mortality and morbidity rate. It is thought to be caused by the hypercoagulable state that occurs during ulcerative colitis relapse. Cerebral venous thrombosis is a reversible condition with good outcomes when detected early and treated properly. In this study, we describe the case of a young woman who presented with cerebral venous thrombosis secondary to ulcerative colitis complicated by venous infarction with petechial cerebral hemorrhage.
