Abstract

Background: Incidence of 3-4 cases / 1 million. Most commonly affects young to middle aged1 and women4. CVST most commonly involves superior saggital sinus (72%) followed by lateral sinus (70%) 2.CVST presents with a wide spectrum of symptoms and signs. MRI with MRV is almost 100% diagnostic. Therefore, a prospective observational study has been undertaken to describe the clinical profile, diagnosis and prognosis of CSVT.

Patients and Methods: 40 patients of CSVT were taken up for the study and followed until discharge from the hospital or death.

Conclusion: Uncommon condition. It is an important cause of stroke especially in the peripartum settings and is one of the common causes of stroke in young.
