We report on two patients with cerebral sinus venous thrombosis following chemotherapy with cisplatin, bleomycin and etoposide for non-seminomatous germ cell tumor. Headache and neurological deficits were the leading symptoms. Cancer and cisplatin chemotherapy are well-known risk factors for thromboembolic events. The therapeutic strategy is an anticoagulant therapy. Symptoms are usually revers...

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 ...

Nephrotic syndrome is associated with a hypercoagulable state and an increased risk of thromboembolic complications. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare complication of nephrotic syndrome, with few cases described in the literature, although the disease may be under-diagnosis.

In this paper, we describe the case of recurrent cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in a patient with increased factor VIII activity, lipoprotein (a) level, and leukocytosis. In addition, we discuss the diagnosis of increased factor VIII activity in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis. With regard to therapy, studies need to be done to establish the duration of therapy with phenprocoumon and...

Four cases, two infants and two adults, of extensive thrombosis of the intracranial venous sinuses are described. Infarction of the brain had occurred in three cases. The first two cases presented as diabetic coma. The third case has been included to represent primary puerperal cerebral venous thrombosis. Extensive venous sinus thrombosis was seen at post-mortem examination in the fourth case, ...
