Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST): A Review of the Deadly Threat
نویسندگان
چکیده
CVST is the presence of blood clot in the dural vein. This happens when a thrombus forms in the brain’s venous sinus that stops blood from flowing out of the brain [1]. Such patients present with a variety of symptoms [1,2]. The most severe and prognostically poor form of presentation of CVST is the venous hemorrhagic infarction (VHI) [2]. However, CVST is a rarer cause of cerebral infarction compared to arterial diseases [1].
