Venous thrombophilia is the result of clotting changes namely of a hypercoagulable state together with blood flow and vessel wall changes. There is no need for all these components to be present in order for thrombosis to occur. As the matter of fact, thrombosis may occur even if only one of these conditions is present. In clinical practice a combination of factors is usualy seen. In comparison...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE Transcranial color-coded real-time sonography has been developed as a promising new bedside procedure to monitor central nervous system parenchymal and vascular pathology; the present study was designed to investigate the potential role of galactose microparticles (SH U 508 A) as a new ultrasound contrast-enhancing agent for transcranial sonography. METHODS Ten patients...

Background and Objective: 
 Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a common cause of cerebrovascular accident (stroke). CVT caused due to blockage in blood flow either cerebral veins or dural sinuses. The objective this study was determine prevalence various clinical imaging characteristics patients with thrombosis.
 Methods:
 A descriptive retrospective cross-sectional patient data...

Various detailed models of cerebral circulation have been proposed, recently fostered by the hypothesized relationship between extracranial venous drainage impairment and neurodegenerative diseases. However, some basic model is missing, analogous to 2-element Windkessel (WK) systemic circulation. This theoretical study focuses, in simplest way, on dependence intracranial pressure (VP) pulsatili...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE The pathogenesis of cerebral venous infarction (CVI) remains controversial, with uncertainty over whether cytotoxic edema plays a role. Recent animal studies have shown that cytotoxic edema reliably occurs in acute CVI and precedes the onset of vasogenic edema. Our hypothesis was that cytotoxic edema would also occur in acute human CVI and would be detectable as an area o...

We conducted a case-control study to investigate the influence of IL6 -174G/C (rs1800795) and -572C/G (rs1800796) genetic variants on the development of cerebral thrombosis in a Chinese population. This study included 305 cerebral infarction patients and 326 control subjects enrolled between May 2012 and May 2014. The genotyping of IL6 -174G/C (rs1800795) and -572C/G (rs1800796) polymorphisms w...

The article describes a clinical case report of young patient with ischemic stroke on the background antiphospholipid syndrome (APLS). uniqueness this lies in complex diagnostic search that we performed. On admission, had general cerebral, infectious and focal syndromes. We suspected encephalitis due to peculiarities onset disease results computed tomography. However, after lumbar puncture, dia...
