Résumé
Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare form of stroke that can present with various clinical features. In addition, it can present with nonspecific neurological features, and initial computed tomography (CT) cannot rule it out even if negative. Human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) infection is a hypercoagulable state; however, it is not much discussed. Here, we present a case of a 24-year-old immunocompetent female who presented with acute meningeal symptoms. She was managed as a case of an opportunistic central nervous system infection at initial presentation, which did not resolve her symptoms completely. Later, however, cerebral thrombosis was diagnosed, and she improved symptomatically on anticoagulants.
