Pernicious anaemia: cause of recurrent cerebral venous thrombosis.

This case of recurrent cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) highlights hyperhomocysteinemia in pernicious anemia due to vitamin B12 deficiency. No other risk factors such as trauma, infections, coagulation disorders or autoimmune diseases were present. The patient was cured with vitamin B12 and anticoagulation therapy. So, it is worthwhile and important to investigate levels of vitamin B12 and homocysteine in CVT.
