Thrombosis of the venous system in brain is a cause cerebral infarction, second only to arterial disease, but associated with high levels morbidity and mortality. The clinical picture thrombosis highly variable often presents source confusion physicians. This study aimed establish patients tertiary healthcare center. We collected analysed case records 23 CVT. most predominant presenting complai...

T HE CLINICAL state resulting from spontaneous infarction of the brain has long been attributed to and designated as '"'cerebral thrombosis." In this report, we employ the term • "cerebral infarction'" 1 rather than "thrombosis" because of the frequent failure to demonstrate thrombosis pathologically. 1 '-We recognize, however, that there is not complete agreement upon the incidence of infarcti...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Outcome from sinus vein thrombosis is very variable, with symptoms from headache to coma. Experimental findings suggest that an involvement of cortical veins is necessary to affect the cerebral microcirculation. Laser Doppler flowmetry was used to investigate the regional and temporal changes in local cortical blood flow after experimental occlusion and thrombosis of the ...

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...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Antiphospholipid antibodies are known to be associated with increased risk of venous and arterial thrombotic events, including cerebral venous thromboses. Pseudotumor syndrome can be produced by cerebral venous thrombosis. A patient with cerebral venous thrombosis associated with antiphospholipid antibodies who exhibited pseudotumor syndrome is reported. CASE DESCRIPTIO...
