The most common site were Superior sagittal sinus-60%, Transverse sinus-50%, Sigmoid sinus-30%, Straight sinus- 7.5 %, Cavernous sinus and Cortical vein were 5% The most common associated factors were H/o Infection were-85%, Dehydration-65% Pregnancy induced hypertension-42%, Hyperhomocysteinemia- 13%, Puerperal -9%, H/o Diabetes- 4%. The majority of the patients were Recovered - 64.10% Recovered with disability -23.08%, Death occurred in 12.82%. Conclusion: It can be concluded from our study that majority of the patients were in the age group of the majority of the patients were in the age group of 40-50.
