Nonabducent Cranial Neuropathies in Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis: A Case Report and Literature Review

Conclusion: A systematic review identified 26 patients from 21 articles with nonabducent cranial neuropathies. Seven patients had lower motor neuron facial palsy, 13 patients had hearing loss or vertigo with vestibulocochlear involvement, and 6 patients had other mixed cranial nerve palsies with CVST. They are usually associated with transverse sinus and/or sigmoid sinus thrombosis. They have a good prognosis with improvement and complete resolution of cranial neuropathies in most cases usually in 1 month.
