Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare serious neurological disorder that may cause vital or morbid consequences if not diagnosed and treated promptly. It is a unique cerebrovascular disorder that predominantly affects adults in their third and fourth decades. The incidence of CVST in adults is estimated to be 4 cases per million of the population, and 7 cases per million in children. In the last...

Several vaccine-induced thrombotic thrombocytopenia syndrome (VITTS) cases have been reported after the ChAdOx1 nCov-19 vaccination. The current study systematically reviewed post-ChAdOx1 nCoV-19 vaccination cases. Their laboratory and clinical features, as well diagnostic therapeutic measures, were investigated. Online databases searched until 25 August 2021. Studies reporting TTS included. Ov...

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...

Neonatal seizures in the neonatal period are symptoms of numerous underlying disorders of the neonate. We present a case in which neonatal seizures due to cerebral infarction led to a diagnosis in the mother. Neonatal convulsions caused by cerebral artery thrombosis is relatively rare in the neonatal period and is often secondary to indwelling intravascular catheters that cause thromboembolism,...

Platelet aggregability was measured using the screen filtration pressure (SFP) method in 50 elderly healthy people, 93 persons with essential hypertension, 166 patients with cerebral thrombosis at the recovery stage (more than two months after onset), and 74 patients with cerebral hemorrhage at the recovery stage. SFP by 3 muM ADP in the healthy persons, the hypertensive patients, and the patie...

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) and deep vein thrombosis or pulmonary embolism (DVT/PE) are associated with many risk factors. It is unclear why CVT occurs less often than DVT/PE. Age dependent risk factors may play a role. The aim of our study was to compare risk factors in a uniform age group of CVT and DVT/PE patients aged between 15 and 50 years. Thrombophilic markers and clinical risk fac...

This study is to explore and evaluate the efficacy and safety of local thrombolytic therapy in superior sagittal sinus in patients with severe cerebral venous sinus thrombosis during puerperium, as well as the efficacy and safety of anti-platelet aggregation treatment for preventing recurrence. Twelve patients during postpartum period with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis were received local th...

High plasma levels of total homocysteine (tHcy) are a risk factor for deep vein thrombosis. Because no information on the relationship between cerebral vein thrombosis and hyperhomocysteinemia is available, a case–control study of 121 patients with a first episode of cerebral vein thrombosis and 242 healthy control subjects was carried out. Fasting plasma levels of tHcy and their postmethionine...

Stroke is an acute neuro-deficit disease that occurs when there a disturbance of cerebral blood flow. There are two kinds stroke, hemorrhagic stroke and ischemic stroke. Ischemic due to the formation thrombosis emboli. Thrombosis emboli block bloodstream in small vessels or prominent vessels. Drugs can cause hemostasis mechanism, such as antiplatelets, usually used on management. This study aim...

BACKGROUND Although Sjögren's syndrome has been known to complicate with white matter lesions, encephalopathy, or stroke, reports of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis due to Sjögren's syndrome with atypical antibodies are rare. CASE REPORT A 50-year-old woman was admitted to our neurological ward with nausea and vomiting following acute onset of severe headache in the left occipital region. Br...
