CVT is a rare cause of SAH. It is important to rule out CVT in patients with SAH, as the management of such patients vary drastically from usual.Patients with SAH due to CVT respond well to anticoagulation and have better prognosis. We present a case of 27 year old female, one week post partum, who presented to emergency with complaints of severe headache and dizziness. She had a GCS of 9/15 on presentation. Her CT Brain was done which showed CVT and SAH. CTA was done to rule out aneurysms, AV malformation and other possible causes . CTV was done to confirm our diagnosis. The patient was started on anticoagulation and responded well.
