description Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare and challenging type of stroke. Coexistence of subarachnoid hemorrhage adds complexity to the diagnostic process leading to a missed or delayed diagnosis. Isolated headaches can be the only presentation and urgent neuroimaging using CT or MR venogram plays a pivotal role in the workup of these cases. We report a rare case of 64-years-old patient with subarachnoid hemorrhage and underlying cerebral venous sinus thrombosis who was presented with isolated headache where the management is different from arterial subarachnoid hemorrhage.
