Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) may be complicated with various intracranial hemorrhage such as petechial hemorrhage, hemorrhagic infarction, parenchymal hemorrhage, subarachnoid hemorrhage (SAH), and subdural hematoma (SDH). However, combination of these types of intracranial hemorrhages supervening on CVST is seldom reported. A 55-year-old female with rectal cancer presented with severe headache, nausea, vomiting and diplopia. She was diagnosed as having CVST in the superior sagittal sinus with left frontal parenchymal hemorrhage and was treated with anticoagulants. The CVST were extended to inferior sagittal and straight sinuses. Moreover, SDH along the left cerebral convexity and SAH in the left sylvian fissure were simultaneously observed. Our present case shows that combination of various types of hemorrhages is rare but may occur in advanced CVST.
