Neonatal cerebral sino-venous thrombosis (CSVT) is a rare disorder, associated with long-term neurological sequelae. Cerebral sino-venous thrombosis (CSVT) is a focal or diffuse disruption of cerebral blood flow secondary to occlusion of cerebral veins and/or sinuses. The most commonly presented clinical manifestations were feeding difficulties, lethargy, respiratory distress, loss of consciousness, and seizures. Here we report one such rare case of Neonatal Cerebral Sinovenous Thrombosis in a full-term male admitted to the NICU in view of respiratory distress due to meconium-stained liquor and cried immediately after birth. The baby had convulsions on day 5 of life, MRI Brain was done and reported as multifocal areas of diffusion on restriction and large areas of diffusion restriction involving various parts of brain. Subcutaneous low molecular heparin was started. There is limited literature describing outcomes: 60?80% of all infants have some neurological deficits; cognitive impairment is reported in 10?60%, and epilepsy in 30?40%.
