Hi,
Thank you for posting your query.
Most likely, your wife is suffering from cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), in which there is clotting of blood in brain veins.
The cause of her clotting are protein C and S deficiency.
Treatment requires long term use of acitrom- an oral anticoagulant. The dose of acitrom is adjusted on the basis of monthly PT/INR tests.
Anti epileptic drugs should also be continued to prevent seizures.
If she continues medications, she would improve and get well soon.
Best wishes,
