β¦ Synopsis
A 45-year-old man with a history of nasopharyngeal carcinoma with metastasis to the right side of the neck, who was treated with radiotherapy for cure, developed spontaneous left internal jugular vein thrombosis. Within a few days, the patient showed signs of increasing intracranial pressure, and a diagnosis of pseudotumor cerebri secondary internal jugular vein thrombosis was made. A review of the literature revealed no other case of pseudotumor cerebri in association with spontaneous internal jugular vein thrombosis. The etiology, pathogenesis, clinical presentation, and treatment of pseudotumor cerebri is presented.
