Creator Michelle Y. Wang; Peter A. Quiros
Affiliation (MYW) University of Southern California/Ophthalmology, Los Angeles, CA
Subject Cerebral Venous Thrombosis; Janus Kinase 2 Mutation; Idiopathic Intracranial Hypertension
Description We present a case of cerebral venous thrombosis secondary to an unusual mutation, the Janus kinase 2 (JAK2 V617F) mutation. The patient complained of symptoms consistent with idiopathic intracranial hypertension (IIH). The initial imaging as well as hypercoagulable and infectious workup were unremarkable. We present this case as a rare clinical example of secondary intracranial hypertension.
