background: anticoagulation therapy is a routine treatment in patients with hemorrhagic cerebral venous thrombosis (cvt). however, fear of hemorrhagic complications and deterioration course following anticoagulation often disturbs the responsible physician. methods: this was a prospective observational study on consecutive cvt patients with hemorrhagic venous infarction or subarachnoid hemorrha...

background: muslim women tend to postpone their menstrual period using short course oral contraceptives (oc) during ramadan, muslims fasting month. recently, many cases of stroke, particularly cerebral vein thrombosis (cvt), have been reported in ramadan. objective: this work studies the incidence of cvt and its relation to ramadan. materials and methods: this is a cohort study conducted from o...

cerebral vein thrombosis (cvt) is an infrequent condition with a large variety of causes that can lead to serious disabilities. however, in 20% to 35% of cases, no cause is found. in this study we evaluated the hereditary (p & c proteins, antithrombin, mutation of prothrombin g20210a and factor v leiden), other risk factors (hyperhomocycteinemia, factor viii, acl-ab, apl-ab, and ocp) and clinic...

Introduction: cerebral vein thrombosis is a rare complication of nephrotic syndrome (NS).We report a known case of NS with hemorrhagic thrombosis. Case report: A boy with previous history of NS was admitted with headache and decrease of level of consciousness and his brain images were revealed hemorrhagic thrombosis Conclusions: cerebral vein thrombosis must be considered in patients with...

although cerebral venous thrombosis is an uncommon cause of stroke among the young, it is being increasingly recognised. a prothrombotic risk factor is identified in the majority of the patients. in most instances it is seen in women in the post-partum period and those on oral contraceptives. magnetic resonance imaging (mri) has improved our ability to diagnose this condition however the variab...

cerebral venous thrombosis, including thrombosis of cerebral veins and major dural sinuses, is an uncommon disorder in the general population. however, it has a higher frequency among patients younger than 40 years of age, patients with thrombophilia, pregnant patients or those receiving hormonal contraceptive therapy or has foreign body such as catheter in their veins or arterial system. in th...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Cerebral veins show wide variation, and unexpected veins occasionally limit surgical procedures for clipping of cerebral aneurysms. This study was undertaken to assess the utility of three-dimensional CT angiography (3D-CTA) in the evaluation of venous anatomy before surgical clipping of cerebral aneurysms. METHODS 3D-CTA was performed in 19 patients before pterional cr...

The venous efflux from cerebral dural venous sinus into the extracranial venous drainage is predominantly based on sigmoid venous sinus draining into the internal jugular vein. In the fetal stage, the rapid growth of cerebral hemispheres leads to an enlargement of transverse venous sinuses in somewhat disproportionate manner to growth of sigmoid venous sinus and internal jugular vein. Therefore...

Cerebral vein thrombosis, also called superior sagittal sinus thrombosis, is a well recognized clinical and radiologic entity associated with a variety of medical disorders. We report a patient with fatal cerebral vein thrombosis following myelography, in whom the cause was familial antithrombin III (AT3) deficiency. Unsuspected AT3 deficiency should be considered in cases of unexplained cerebr...
