The risk factors for deep venous thrombosis (and for cerebral vein and sinus thrombosis, CVST) differ from those for arterial disease. The risk factors for venous thrombosis are linked to the Virchow triad of stasis of the blood, changes in the vessel wall, and changes in the composition of...
Objective: The purpose of this prospective study is aimed at assessing the clinical characteristics, potential risk factors, and neuro-radiological features along with the topography of venous sinus involved in CVST patients in a tertiary care hospital, Lahore, Pakistan. Ma...
Deep Cerebral Venous Thrombosis is thrombosis of deep venous outflow and is seen in 10% of cases of CVST [6]. The most commonly identified risk factors are young age groups and the female gender. Also, antibiotics, dehydration, intracranial tumors, cancer, pregnancy/puerperium, oral ...
Little is known about the relationships between provoking risk factors, prognosis, and optimal duration of anticoagulation in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), especially in Asians. We aimed to investigate whether the prognosis and required duration of anticoagulation in CVT patients differ...

The factor II G20210A mutation and estrogen treatment are described as risk factors for cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). We evaluated these known risk factors in a population of CVT patients and investigated the role of a combination of two polymorphisms in the promoter of the protein C gene ...
Background: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) often presents with acute seizures, and recurrent seizures may also be seen in the long term in some patients. The purpose of this retrospective study was to investigate the frequency and type of acute seizures and to define the risk factors....
Background and hypothesis: Little is known about the relationships between the presence/type of provoking risk factors and the prognosis and optimal duration of anticoagulation in patients with cerebral vein and dural sinus thrombosis (CVT). We aimed to analyze data of treatment and long-term progno...
Dural puncture and activated protein C resistance: risk factors for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis OBJECTIVES Dural puncture is regarded a safe procedure when contraindications are carefully excluded and has so far not been recognised as a risk factor fo...
