Abstract: Dural sinus thrombosis (DST) is an infrequent diagnosis that is not commonly thought of in the first instance especially when the clinical presentation is not specific. We describe the clinical presentation of a patient with infantile seizures which was promptly investigated and diagnosed as DST secondary to Protein C deficiency. He was successfully treated with unfractionated heparin and the patient had full clinical recovery with no focal neurological deficit. High index of suspicion helped us in diagnosing this rare presentation well in time before occurrence of any complications.
Key Words: Dural sinus thrombosis, Protein C deficiency, seizures
