dc.description.abstract | Introduction: Cerebral Venous Thrombosis is an importantcause of stroke in the young. The importance of recognisingthis condition is that it carries a good prognosis if recognisedand treated early. Study objective was to analyse the clinicaland etiological profile of Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis.Material and Methods: Prospective cross sectional studyin patients attending OPD or emergency at a tertiary referralcentre in eastern Tamilnadu with history suggestive of CVTand in whom the diagnosis of CVT confirmed by imagingof brain (MRI and MRV) were included in the study aftermeeting the inclusion criteriaResult: Among the 33 patients included in the study, majorityaffected were young males, most common clinical presentationwas headache and most common sinus involved was superiorsagittal sinus. Pro thrombotic state was observed in 27% ofcases and alcohol addiction was found to highly prevalent inthe study population.Conclusion: Cerebral Venous Thrombois is found to besignificantly high in males and alcoholics. Compared to otherIndian studies there was not much disparity in clinical profileand risk factors. | en_US |
