cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (csvt) in a neonate with different manifestations
Authors
abstract
cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (csvt) is increasingly diagnosed in neonates. despite many studies which have addressed diagnosis and management of pediatric csvt, diagnosis of cvsd in neonates is difficult. a female neonate born by natural vaginal delivery was diagnosed with csvt after initiation of seizure. the seizure was stabilized and after performing diagnostic tests, the diagnosis of csvt was made. this report describes diagnosis of this rare condition in a newborn baby in order to make awareness about this serious condition in neonates.

Cerebral Sinovenous Thrombosis
Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) is a rare but serious cerebrovascular disorder affecting children from the newborn period through childhood and adolescence. The incidence is estimated at 0.6/100,000/year, with 30-50% occurring in newborns. Causes are diverse and are highly age dependent. Acute systemic illness is the dominant risk factor among newborns. In childhood CSVT, acute infections...
full textCirculating Levels of Interleukin-10 and -17 in Patients with Cerebral Sinovenous Thrombosis (CSVT) in Acute and Subacute Stages: A Prospective Case-Control Study
Background: Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) is a neurovascular disorder that occurs when a blood clot develops in a vein near the brain. Evaluating the subsequent changes in inflammatory cytokines can better reveal the underlying pathogeneses. Objective: To assess the serum levels of interleukin-10 (an anti-inflammatory cytokine) and IL-17 (a pro-inflammatory cytokine) in patients with as...
full textA novel association between cerebral sinovenous thrombosis and nonketotic hyperglycinemia in a neonate
Lethargy in newborns usually indicates central nervous system dysfunction, and many conditions such as cerebrovascular events, infections, and metabolic diseases should be considered in the differential diagnosis. Nonketotic hyperglycinemia is an autosomal recessive error of glycine metabolism, characterized by myoclonic jerks, hypotonia, hiccups, apnea, and progressive lethargy that may progre...

Nephrotic syndrome (NS) is a renal disorder characterized by heavy proteinuria, hypoalbuninemia, edema and hypercholesterolemia. Nephrotic syndrome in children is known to be associated with an hypercoagulable state and thromboembolic complications. However cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) is very rare. Here we report a seven-year-old child with steroid-dependent idopathic nephrotic syndro...

A 67-year-old man with a history of prostatic hypertrophy developed behavioral anomalies and a fever. At admission, diffusion-weighted brain magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) indicated a high-intensity signal lesion on both sides of the cerebral hemisphere. Immediately after hospitalization, he developed paralysis of the left side of the body. Diffusion-weighted MRI indicated hemorrhagic changes...
