Abstract
Pregnancy is the pro-thrombotic state. The objective of this report is to highlight the rare occurance of postpartum cavernous sinus thrombosis associated with eclampsia and gestational diabetes mellitus, emphasizing its clinical presentation. A 25-year-old Muslim female came with the complaint of headache,post auricular and right parietal region on 8th day post-partum. She had a history of postpartum eclampsia and Gestational Diabetes Mellitus for which she was treated with magnesium sulfate and oral hypoglycaemic agents respectively. MRV showed a filling defect in right transverse sinus, sigmoid sinus, and internal jugular vein. She was then admitted to the ward and was treated with heparin and antibiotics. She was then discharged on oral rivaroxaban. As pregnancy is itself a state of hyper-coagulable state, there seems to be a significant thrombosis risk. Hence clinicians should be aware of the possible thrombotic disorder in the background of this vignette.
