We describe a fatal case of intracranial venous thrombosis occurring in early pregnancy. Such thrombosis usually occurs in late pregnancy or the puerperium but rarely during the first trimester of pregnancy. Computerized axial tomography suggested massive cerebral venous infarction. Necropsy findings showed not only cerebral venous thrombosis but also extensive pelvic and iliac vein thromboses....

PURPOSE To prospectively use MRI in the early detection of intracranial sino-venous thrombosis during the L-asparaginase induction therapy of acute leukemia thus preventing the evolution of brain venous infarct. MATERIAL AND METHODS The study population consisted of seventy patients receiving L-asparaginase induction therapy for acute leukemia in the National Cancer Institute of Cairo Univers...

The Syndrome of Latent Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: Its Frequency and Relation to Age and Congestive Heart Failure • The present investigation indicates the high incidence of intracranial venous thrombosis in adults in the older age groups, especially in the female. Commonly overlooked clinically and pathologically, cerebral venous thrombosis is usually preceded by congestive circulatory failure...

Background: Intracranial dural arteriovenous fistulas (DAVF) are relatively rare vascular malformations. While the pathophysiology of their formation is unknown, they believed to be acquired lesions related intracranial venous hypertension and dura sinus thrombosis. There have been reports tumors associated with DAVF. Here we complete a systematic search literature. Methods: A PRISMA literature...

IMPORTANCE Future funding for new treatments in venous thromboembolism will be guided by cost-utility analyses. There is little available information on the utility of acute venous thromboembolism, limiting the validity of economic analyses. OBJECTIVE To measure the quality of life in the health states relating to thromboembolism cost-utility analyses. DESIGN A prospective cohort study. S...

Objective: Intracranial atherosclerosis disease (ICAD) is one of the most common causes acute ischemic stroke. In endovascular treatment (EVT) for large vessel occlusion stroke-related ICAD, reocclusion recanalized artery due to in situ thrombosis problematic. this study, safety and efficacy prasugrel administration avoid emergent EVT ICAD was investigated.

This study was designed to further assess the capabilities of MR as a tool for the diagnostic evaluation of patients with giant intracranial aneurysms, to determine MR's ability to define the degree of thrombosis present within giant aneurysms before and after treatment with balloon occlusion, and to delineate the MR characteristics of both spontaneous and induced thrombus within giant aneurysm...

Episodes of loss of consciousness are common, even in young, healthy people, and can sometimes represent a diagnostic challenge. The main diagnoses to consider are syncope and epileptic seizures, both of which may have similar symptomatology such as dizziness, loss of consciousness, falls, or "convulsive" phenomena. We present the case of a young male patient with a background of two venous thr...
