Journal Title: MedPulse -International Medical Journal - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 8
Abstract
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is relatively uncommon cause of stroke, but its clinical presentation is variable. We have studied 30 cases of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis admitted during period between June 2015 to June 2017. 50% of cases were between age of 18-30 years. 16 i.e. 53.33% of cases were female while rest were male. The mean age of female patients is 34.94 years whereas that of males is 40.64 years in the present study. In the present study, 19 patients (63.33%) were conscious and 8 cases (26.66%) were drowsy and 1 patient (3.33%) was comatose at the time of presentation. The most common symptom is headache in 73.33% cases followed by focal deficits in 56.66% cases. In the present study, hemiparesis was present in 40% and papilloedema in 33.33% of the patients. Hyperhomocystinemia was the most common risk factor identified in 35.71% cases. In the present study 2 patients died out of 30 patients.
