Abstract
Dural sinus thrombosis is a rare but serious condition, especially in children, requiring a high level of suspicion for accurate diagnosis and timely treatment. We present the case of a 14-year-old female who initially presented with vague symptoms but later developed neurological deficits. Imaging revealed left acute mastoiditis and dural sinus thrombosis. She was successfully treated with antibiotics and anticoagulation therapy. This case underscores the importance of maintaining a high index of suspicion, utilizing imaging for accurate diagnosis, and prompt initiation of treatment in resource-limited settings.
