Abstract

Background and Aim: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare type of stroke and usually occurs in young people. The most common early clinical sign is a headache and the most common finding on clinical examination is bilateral papillary edema. Results: Herewith, we have reported the frequency of clinical features, and imaging findings of cerebral venous thrombosis patients. A total of 17 patients with cerebral venous thrombosis with symptoms of stroke were evaluated, 64.7% of patients were female. The Mean±SD age of the patients was 40.41±12.08 years and the Mean±SD number of hospitalization days was 11.76±3.71 days. The most location of thrombosis and neurological symptoms were sigmoid headaches and blurred vision, respectively. Conclusion: Based on our study, we found that the most common clinical manifestation of CVT is a headache. Papilledema and seizure are also very common, and the most common site of thrombosis in these patients is the sigmoid sinus.
