Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in a young child with acute lymphoblastic leukemia: a case report and literature review.

Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a hematological malignancy. There are many risk factors for thrombus development in patients with ALL, and thrombi may develop in different parts of the body. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare complication of ALL that usually appears during treatment. We present a patient who developed CVST twice, once before diagnosis and once after treatment for ALL. We also reviewed the literature describing ALL and CVST.
