Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2018, Vol 6, Issue 7
Abstract
Aims: Aim of our study was to evaluate the clinical profile of patients with cortical venous thrombosis. Methods: A detail history, clinical examination and relevant investigations were performed to all cases. Laboratory investigations like complete blood count with peripheral smear, ESR, RBS, serum urea, serum creatinine, LFT, serum electrolytes, urine routine, ECG in all leads, CSF analysis(whenever necessary), prothrombin time, activated partial thromboplastin time, CT scan, MRI and MR venogram were performed to all patients with cerebral venous thrombosis. Results: Data was analyzed with the help of MS- office software. Conclusions: Young age female patients were more prone to cortical venous thrombosis. Headache, convulsion and altered sensorium, hemiparesis, pallor, papilloedema were common initial symptoms and sign. Transverse sinus, sigmoid sinus and superior sagital sinus were commonly involved. Mortality rate was higher in patients with severe anaemia, haemmorhagic CVT and two or more than two sinus involvement of patients with cortical venous thrombosis
