The superior sagittal sinus and the cross sinus are two most common places for thrombus formation. A 26-year-old Man was taken to the Acharya Vinoba Bhave Rural Hospital with a new-onset complex-partial convulsion with secondary generalization, headache, and emesis seven days before presentation. Later on he experienced headache which was acute in onset and continuous in nature which was associated with fever. Patient had 1 episode of seizers lasting for 3-4 mints. Which was associated with fall on ground. He complained about weakness in left upper limb.
