A 24-year-old woman at 41 weak gestational age underwent epidural anesthesia and normal vaginal

delivery. After 7 days of delivery, patient referred to our hospital with severe headache, left paresthesia,

and tonic-clonic seizure. During this period, the patient suffered a headache that was attributed to the

epidural anesthetic. Radiologic assessments showed thrombosis at superior sagittal sinus. Cerebral

Sinus Venous Thrombosis (CSVT) is a rare disease. The annual incidence is estimated to be about 5 per

considered. Treatment with anticoagulants should be done immediately.
