Introduction: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare condition. The most frequent symptoms and signs are headache, focal seizures with or without secondary generalization, unilateral or bilateral paresis, and papilledema. We report a case of left transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus thrombosis that presented with seizure in a pregnant woman.Case Report: A 31-year-old woman at 33 weeks of pregnancy was admitted with sudden onset of seizure to the emergency department. The magnetic resonance scan of her brain showed the presence of a cortical-subcortical infarction in the cerebellar hemisphere, and magnetic resonance venography ultimately revealed left transverse sinus and sigmoid sinus thrombosis. The patient was treated with phenytoin and enoxaparin; the fetus was delivered after an urgent cesarean section.Conclusion: In pregnant women presenting with seizure, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis should be also considered in the differential diagnosis
