Venous thrombosis is associated with Virchow’s triad. This involves the combination of hypercoagulability, damage to the vessel endothelium and haemodynamic changes in the form of stasis or turbulence. These features ultimately contribute to thrombosis formation (Heit 2008). Venous thrombosis can affect the eyes, resulting in serious ocular symptoms and is a significant cause of vision loss wor...

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...

BACKGROUND Increasing availability of neuroimaging has facilitated the diagnosis of cerebral sinus venous thrombosis(CSVT). However, CSVT may also present with unspecific or atypical symptoms, resulting in diagnostic delay.Single reports suggested otologic symptoms as such pitfalls. OBJECTIVE To screen patients with CSVT for otologic symptoms. DESIGN Ten-year retrospective case series. SE...

Cerebral venous thrombosis is a relatively uncommon but serious neurologic disorder that is potentially reversible with prompt diagnosis and appropriate medical care. Because the possible causal factors and clinical manifestations of this disorder are many and varied, imaging plays a primary role in the diagnosis. Magnetic resonance (MR) imaging, un-enhanced computed tomography (CT), unenhanced...

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosisis an uncommon entity and its clinical presentations are highly variable. We present the case of superior sagittal sinus thrombosis. Although it was medical refractory, successfully treated with mechanical thrombectomy using the Solitaire FR device. A 27-year-old man who presented with venous infarction accompanied by petechial hemorrhage secondary to the superio...
