TLDR
Hemostatic disorders are the leading causes of cerebral venous thrombosis, in particular, constitutional thromBophilia often associated with one or several promoting factors such as use of oral contraception, which explains the incidence peak among young women.Abstract:
Cerebral venous thrombosis represents less than 1 % of all strokes, usually affecting young women, probably because of hormonal factors. The most common symptom is headache, with or without focal neurological findings such as deficits or seizures. Brain MRI is the gold standard for diagnosis. Anticoagulation should be initiated as soon as possible, followed by vitamin K antagonists, for at least 3 months. Predisposing causes and risk factors for cerebral venous thrombosis are multiple. Prognosis is good and recurrence rate is low.read more

TL;DR: In this large, population based sample of pregnant women admitted to hospital, a strong relation existed between active peripartum migraine and vascular diagnoses during pregnancy.

MR imaging features of isolated cortical vein thrombosis: diagnosis and follow-up.
TL;DR: On T2*GE imaging, MSE of hemoglobin products within the thrombus was observed both at the early and late phases of ICoVT and appears to be of high diagnostic value compared with the other signal intensity changes detected on standard MR imaging.

TL;DR: Patients with focal motor deficits, cortical vein thrombosis and intracranial haemorrhage carried the highest risk for ES, and prophylactic antiepileptic treatment may be an option for these patients.

TL;DR: The risk of recurrent CSVT is low and is higher in the first year after discontinuation of anticoagulant treatment and among men, but severeThrombophilia entails an increased risk of deep vein thrombosis of the lower limbs or pulmonary embolism.

TL;DR: A negative D-Dimer assay does not confidently rule out CVT, particularly in the setting of recent isolated headache, but in a multivariate analysis, isolated headache was the only variable associated with anegative D-dimer assay.
