cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (csvt) is increasingly diagnosed in neonates. despite many studies which have addressed diagnosis and management of pediatric csvt, diagnosis of cvsd in neonates is difficult. a female neonate born by natural vaginal delivery was diagnosed with csvt after initiation of seizure. the seizure was stabilized and after performing diagnostic tests, the diagnosis of csvt...

Background: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (sinovenous) (CSVT) is a rare and yet an important cause of morbidity and mortality in neonates. The Canadian registry quotes an incidence of 41 per 100,000 newborns per year. Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis is rarely reported in preterm infants. Although it is a potentially devastating condition with poor neuro developmental outcome, the risk factors...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis is a rare disorder with a high risk of an adverse neurodevelopmental outcome. Until now, anticoagulation therapy has been restricted to neonates without an associated parenchymal hemorrhage. In this study, we describe sequential neuroimaging findings and use of anticoagulation therapy in newborn infants with a unilateral thalamic hemorrhage ...

Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) is rare and occurs in three to four persons per one million of population per year1. Deep cerebral venous system involvement is present only in 10% of CSVT2. Thrombosis of deep cerebral veins presents with headache, encephalopathy, and variable focal deficits, and is associated with increased risk of death or dependence if not recognized and treated promptl...

abstract cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (csvt) in children has rarely been reported in the literature, especially without underlying disorder. it has increasingly been diagnosed due to clinical awareness and sensitive neuroimaging techniques. the aim of this article was to report a case of cerebral sinovenous thrombosis without underlying disorder. we reported a 5 year old girl, presented with ...

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...
