Abstract
A 57-year-old male presented with generalized seizure who received red blood cell (RBC) transfusion for the treatment of iron deficiency anemia (IDA). Neuroradiological findings revealed cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) on the left frontal vein. He received anticoagulants, anticonvulsants, and iron supplements. He discharged without any neurological deficit. It should be noted that RBC transfusion might increase the risk of CVT in patients with IDA.Entities:
