Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare but serious disorder that is associated with a poor clinical outcome. We report a 35-year-old man who had a severe headache and diplopia while climbing Mount Everest. His MR venography showed right transverse and right sigmoid sinus thrombosis. He improved on anticoagulant and symptomatic measures. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis at high altitu...

Severe neonatal hypernatremia is an important electrolyte disorder that has serious effects. Cerebral venous thrombosis and aortic thrombosis are relatively rare in severe neonatal hypernatremic dehydration. The authors report a case of cerebral venous thrombosis, associated with aortic thrombosis revealed by dehydration in a 9-day-old boy. Diagnostic was performed using Doppler ultrasound and ...

OBJECTIVE To investigate recanalisation in the first 12 months after cerebral venous thrombosis. METHODS 33 consecutive patients presenting with cerebral venous thrombosis were enrolled in the study. Diagnosis was made by magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) and magnetic resonance venography (MRV) or catheter angiography. Patients were initially treated with intravenous heparin. Warfarin was give...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Although intracerebral hemorrhages are frequent in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis, and lead to worse outcome, predictors of outcome in cerebral venous thrombosis patients with intracerebral hemorrhages have never been evaluated in adequately powered studies. METHODS This study was conducted as a part of the International Study on Cerebral Vein and Dural Sinus ...

ural sinus thrombosis has been proposed as the primary event in the formation of a dural arteriovenous fistula (DAVF).1–4 However, the temporal course of development of a DAVF after cerebral sinus thrombosis has rarely been shown clinically. Venous angiography is a sensitive method for evaluating sinus thrombosis.5 However, the invasiveness of venous angiography limits its value in the follow-u...
