Pseudotumor Cerebri:A Complication of Catheter-Induced Subclavian Vein Thrombosis
Arch Int Med 154:808-811, Birdwell,B.G.,et al, 1994
See this aricle in Pubmed

Article Abstract
Pseudotumor cerebri is frequently the only clinical clue to the presence of cerebral venous thrombosis,a potentially devastating condition.We report a case of pseudotumor cerebri associated with thrombosed dural venous sinuses caused by propagation of a catheter-related subclavian vein thrombus.The findings and clinical course in this case alert us to a complication of central venous catheter use that responds well to treatment if recognized early.
