cerebral venous thrombosis, including thrombosis of cerebral veins and major dural sinuses, is an uncommon disorder in the general population. however, it has a higher frequency among patients younger than 40 years of age, patients with thrombophilia, pregnant patients or those receiving hormonal contraceptive therapy or has foreign body such as catheter in their veins or arterial system. in th...

background: evidence is accumulating that venous thromboembolism is not limited to coagulation system and immune system seems to be involved in formation and resolution of thrombus. some studies have demonstrated the role of inflammatory factors in deep venous thrombosis (dvt) of limbs; however, there has not been such study in the patients with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (cvst). the purp...

introduction : activated protein c (apc) inactivates factor v by cleavage of its heavy chain at arg306, arg506, arg679, and lys994. mutational changes, which abolish apc cleavage sites, may predispose thrombosis by altering the inactivation process of factor v.  factor v leiden (arg506glu) has been demonstrated as a strong risk factor for thrombosis. in the current study, we have studied whethe...

infection-related cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (cvst) is a rare cerebral vascular diseases which has no pathognomonic sign or definite diagnostic approach. it is crucial to early suspect and recognize the disease to lower morbidity and mortality of it. however, its low incidence and atypic presentation often leads to misdiagnosis and treatment delay which increase complications and mortalit...

This update uses an evidence based approach to analyze and present the epidemiology of neonatal thrombosis, etiologies, currently used techniques for diagnosis with their limitations, and current therapeutic approaches. In addition, the approaches to both prevention and optimal therapies are discussed. In Section I Dr. Paul Monagle addresses the epidemiology of neonatal thrombosis outside of th...

background: septic intracranial venous thrombosis is a rare vascular disease of the brain with no specific sign or symptom. while urgent treatment will result in complete recovery, delays may cause permanent complications or even death. case report: the patient was a 23-year-old woman who had suffered visual loss, hallucination, and confusion two weeks after undergoing submandibular abscess rem...

This is a case study of a 34-year-old woman who was admitted to hospital with a history of severe orthostatic headache. She was diagnosed as having spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) by undetectable cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) pressure at lumbar puncture, and with evidence of diffuse dural enhancement of the brain detected by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI). However, the contrast-enhance...
