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...

abstract background: the optimal therapy of acute iliofemoral venous thrombosis is still a matter of debate. the purpose of our study was to evaluate the late results of iliofemoral thrombectomy with regard to the prevention of the development of a post thrombotic syndrome (pts). methods: during 2000-2003, 18 patients underwent transfemoral venous thrombectomy for acute iliofemoral venous throm...

All surgical patients are at risk for the development of deep venous thrombosis and subsequent pulmonary embolism or postphlebitic syndrome. The evolution of ultrasonographic imaging has increased the awareness of prevention, diagnosis, and treatment of deep venous thrombosis. Duplex imaging and Doppler color flow imaging have made the diagnosis of deep venous thrombosis relatively simple, pain...

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...

AIMS AND BACKGROUND The aim of the study was to determine the incidence of venous thrombosis in cancer patients with central venous catheters inserted perioperatively. METHODS AND STUDY DESIGN A prospective analysis was performed with 68 patients in whom central venous catheters were placed perioperatively. Cancer patients with planned central venous catheters had prophylaxis with low-molecul...

In this review, we provide an overview of the risk factors for venous thromboembolism, focusing on hypercoagulability and hypofibrinolysis. In the first part of this review, we discuss the risk factors for commonly occurring venous thrombosis, in particular deep vein thrombosis and pulmonary embolism. In the second part, we provide an overview of the risk factors for the Budd-Chiari syndrome an...

introduction: oral contraceptives (ocs) are considered as one of the most common risk factor of venous thromboembolism (vte) in child bearing age. some of the recent researches indicate that the odds of vte may be even higher with newer generations of ocs. the present meta-analysis was designed to evaluate the effect of different generation of ocs on the occurrence of vte. methods: two research...

introduction: deep vein thrombosis (dvt) is a major cause of morbidity and mortality in intensive care unit (icu) patients despite use of prophylactic anticoagulant therapy. the aim of the present study was to determine the incidence of dvt among medical and surgical icu patients. methods: in this cross sectional study, patients older than 18 years who were hospitalized in the icu of imam hosse...

Introduction: Sudden sensorineural hearing loss (SSNHL) is an important otological emergency. Up to 90% of the cases are idiopathic. Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is an extremely rare identifiable cause as it only represents 0.5% of all strokes.   Case Report: In this paper, an unusual case of bilateral SSNHL secondary to bilateral CVT with rapid and complete recovery is reported. The patie...
