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 cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, anticoagulant treatment is associated with a nonsignificant reduction of the risk of death or dependence, but the treatment has nevertheless become widely adopted because it seems safe: no increase in the proportion of patients with hemorrhagic transformation of infarction has so far been demonstrated.

TL;DR: The use of gender-affirming hormone therapy may lead to an increased risk for ischemic stroke, but the data are limited and require further research as discussed by the authors , however, these are multifactorial and include contributions from healthrelated behaviors, inadequate access to care, the use of hormonal therapy, and minority stress.

Desheng Zhu,Jue Fu,Yi Zhang,Chong Xie,Xiaoqing Wang,Yue Zhang,Jie Yang,Shi-Xu Li,Xiao-Bei Liu,Zhi-Wen Wan,Qiang Dong,Yangtai Guan +11 more
TL;DR: The double-track sign on axial Gd-enhanced T1WI is highly specific and moderate sensitive for detection of TSS and could be a direct sign and might provide an early clue for TSS.
