ABSTRACT
Background: While less than 1% of all strokes are caused by Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST), which primarily affects young adults and children and is characterized by clinical symptoms like headache, nausea, vomiting, optic papilledema, limb paralysis, and epilepsy. Numerous observational studies have demonstrated that using Oral Contraceptive Pills (OCP) increases the risk of CVST by five to twenty-two times. A 39-year-old female patient was brought unconscious to the emergency medicine with a history of cranial headache and giddiness in the last 5-6 days. Post ICU admission physiotherapy was started focusing on early mobility. The report says that early intervention shows better prognosis in patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.
Methods: 39-year-old female developed Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis because of consumption Oral Contraceptive Pills for last 18 years.
Results: Outcomes were taken on day one and 12th day i.e., GCS score, Four Point Score, ICU Mobility Scale and Chest Expansion, there is significant improvements in outcomes is seen after intervention.
Conclusions: The advantages of rehabilitation in enabling the improvement of a patient's condition, leading to favourable and promising outcomes. This case study concluded that, there were significant improvement in GCS score, Four Point Score. ICU Mobility Scale and chest expansion in rare case of Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST) because of OCP. As a result of the early intervention, stroke survivors have a better long-term prognosis and quality of life.
