Abstract

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a severe multifactorial condition with various clinical manifestations that may include headache, papilledema, seizures, focal deficits, coma and death. The mortality rate of untreated CVT is up to 50%, but it drops to 10% when CVT is properly treated. Prevention of CVT is feasible through healthy lifestyle, genetic counseling, molecular genetic analysis for common thrombophilia-related mutations, and prophylactic anticoagulative medication.
