A 24-year-old woman was admitted to our hospital after convulsive status epilepticus. A cerebral magnetic resonance venography revealed a persistent fetal falcine sinus. Additionally, the posterior third of the superior sagittal sinus was hypoplastic and the abnormal deep venous drainage was accompanied. These abnormalities had already been detected by magnetic resonance imaging several years ago. In the present scan, we discovered a sinus thrombosis in the hypoplastic superior sagittal sinus. In the cerebral angiography, we observed delayed venous return in the left parieto-occipital lobe and hypothesized that cerebral venous stasis due to the thrombus caused the convulsive status epilepticus. The patient was treated with intravenous administration of heparin along with an antiepileptic drug, and she recovered with no neurological defects. In the present case, the falcine sinus and the anomalous venous return were likely congenital while the status epilepticus was derived from thrombosis in the hypoplastic superior sagittal sinus. Although the falcine sinus functioned as an alternative pathway for the superior sagittal sinus, the hypoplastic superior sagittal sinus itself may also play an important role as a venous drainage channel.
