Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2016, Vol 3, Issue 2
Abstract
Introduction: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), caused by the obstruction of cerebral venous flow, is regarded as a rare and specific type of stroke, accounting for less than 1% of the stroke population. Aims and Objectives: To Study Prevalence of Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Presenting In Puperium at Tertiary Health Care Centre Methodology : This was a Cross sectional study carried out at Tertiary health care centre. All the patient have diagnosed as Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis during 5 year period during January 2010 to January 2015 were studied by their care Records . Out of Total 1760 Delivery occurred as per above criteria only 35 patients were having Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis complication. To see statistical significance between presence or absence of associated factor with Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis a Z-test (Standard error of Difference between two proportions was used) Result: The most common clinical features associated were Headache 82.85% Blurred Vision (68.57%), Focal neurological Deficit (60.00%), Somnolence (54.28%), Altered Consciousness (48.57%), Epilepsy and Seizures (34.28%), Limb Paresis (25.71%),Paroxysmal Blurred vision (20.00%), Fever (17.14%) respectively. The risk factors significantly associated with Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Presenting In Puperium were H/O Eclampsia (P< 0.005), H/O Anaemia in pregnancy (P<0.001) H/O PPH (P<0.05), Dehydration (P<0.05), Septicemia(P<0.05), H/O Caesarean Delivery (P <0.005), Gravida III or More (P < 0.01), H/O RHD(P< 0.005), H/O Oral Contraceptives H/O Diabetes(P<0.001). Conclusion: The most common clinical features in Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis were Headache Blurred Vision, Focal neurological Deficit and most common risk factors associated found in our study were H/O Eclampsia, H/O Anaemia in pregnancy H/O PPH , Dehydration, Septicemi, H/O Caesarean Delivery, Gravida III or More, H/O RHD, H/O Oral Contraceptives H/O Diabetes.
