Objective: To investigate whether users of oral contraceptives who are carriers of a hereditary prothrombotic condition (factor V Leiden mutation, protein C, S, or antithrombin deficiency) have an increased risk of cerebral sinus thrombosis. Design: Comparison of a prospective series of cases of cerebral sinus thrombosis with population data. Setting: Neurological teaching hospitals from differ...

We present a rare case of bilateral anterior cerebral artery (ACA) territory infarction with akinetic mutism, quadriparesis and frontal lobe release signs along limbic dysfunction mimicking basilar thrombosis. The etiology was thrombosis the communicating propagation or embolism thrombus to both A2 segments restricted absent blood flow in branches arising from A3 causing extensive infarction. a...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral venous thrombosis is characterized by its clinical pleomorphism and pathogenetic variability. We studied 67 patients with cerebral venous thrombosis associated with pregnancy and puerperium and compared them with 46 other cases unrelated to obstetric causes to disclose differences in their clinical presentation, neuroradiological findings, clinical course, and pr...

Introduction: Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome-Coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) was first detected in December 2019 the city of Wuhan, China, and has since taken on worldwide proportions. It is known that individuals with Coronavirus disease-19 (COVID-19) have systemic clinical manifestations. Among multisystemic effects, cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) responsible for high mortality rates. In this...

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is an uncommon but potentially lethal condition that can present with headache, focal deficits, seizures, altered mental status, and papilledema. Nontraumatic dural sinus thrombosis is associated with medical conditions such as oral contraceptive use, pregnancy, dehydration, coagulopathies, connective tissue disorders, and leukemia. Traumatic dural sinus thrombo...

Neonatal cerebral infarction is a serious and disabling condition. It is extremely rare if it occurs in association with portal vein thrombosis. We are reporting 2 cases of neonatal cerebral infarction with this etiology. The unique mechanism of cerebral infarction will be discussed. We propose that in the absence of any identifiable cause for the cerebral infarction, portal vein thrombosis sho...
