A Prospective Observational Study to Describe the Clinical Profile, Diagnosis and Prognosis of Cerebral Sinus Venous Thrombosis

Cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) is an uncommon condition. Its clinical presentation is varied and often dramatic. It often affects young to middle-aged patients, and more commonly women. Important clinical features to suggest this disorder are presentation with recent headache, seizures, papilloedema and focal deficits in the appropriate clinical settings. Management with unfractionated heparin, LMWH and oral anticoagulation is appropriate. surgical decompression is helpful in the case of continuing deterioration, inspite of maximum medical management.
