Abstract :
Objectives: To determine clincoradiological profile and functional outcome among patients of acute cerebral venous thrombosis.
Background: Acute cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) may result in a variety of clinical presentations, with headache being the most common. The relationship between clinical and neuroradiological characteristics in acute CVT patients is still not univocally characterized.
Materials and Methods: We enrolled all patients aged ? 18 years old admitted to the emergency department (ED) of Chengalpattu government medical college ,and discharged between January 1, 2020, and September 30, 2021, with a diagnosis of CVT (study period = 21 months).exclusion criteria in ovr study is presence of stroke/ICSOL/seizure disorder, metabolic encephalopathy.
Results: All patient (100%) are associated with concomitant neurological symptoms/signs (74%) and superior sagittal sinus thrombosis involved in 33 (66%) patients. Headache is most common presenting symptoms (84%).
Conclusions: Our study confirms and enriches available data on the clinicoradiological profile of patients with acute CVT venous ischemia are independently associated with poor outcomes. We confirmed and enriched available data on acute CVT clinicoradiological profiles in a consecutive series of patients admitted to our ED. New-onset, sub-acute, moderate to severe, and persistent headache represents a major clinical red flag that should prompt urgent investigation for CVT.
