Abstract
Background: Cerebral venous thrombosis has varied clinical presentations, etiological factors, imaging findings, and outcome. Etiological factors are usually divided into acquired risks and genetic risks. Aim: To find out the etiological factors of CVT in CVT diagnosed patients. Material and Methods: The case records of patients of CVST will be retrieved from the department, the data will be collected through the case record of patient with CVST the records of those cases fulfilling the inclusion and exclusion criteria will be analyzed retrospectively in terms of causes, site of CVST and complication. Results: Out of 30 patients, in 8 patients the cause was unknown and the alcohol was the commonest cause for the CVT which was seen in 05 patients (16.66%) and the next common were dehydration and postpartum, each constituted 4 patients (13.33%). Conclusion: CVT is multifactorial, and in most of the cases the cause is unknown, however, identification of one risk factor should not deter the clinician from searching for more causes.
