%X Here, we report the case of a 27-year-old woman with tuberous sclerosis complex who underwent successful endovascular intervention for cerebral venous thrombosis at the superior sagittal sinus. She had protein S deficiency and a long-term history of anemia caused by menorrhagia from uterine fibroids, possibly leading to a hypercoagulable state. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis accounts for ~0.5¨C1% of all strokes. Several cases of venous thrombosis in patients with tuberous sclerosis complex and protein S or protein C deficiency have been reported, but further studies are needed to identify whether an association of this rare combination may be explained
