Deep cerebral vein thrombosis due to iron deficiency anemia: A case report

We report on a 28-year-old woman who developed deep cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT) associated with iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Activation of platelet function by IDA may lead to CVT and sometimes results in death when a deep central vein is affected. While IDA is a common condition, especially among young women, proper management of IDA is needed to prevent severe venous thrombosis.
