Summary
Researchers at the Universities of Toronto and Calgary, Canada performed a retrospective case-control study of infants with neonatal cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) recruited in the SickKids Children's Stroke Program, Jan 1992-Dec 2006. Blinded neuroimaging review by 2 experts quantified superior sagittal sinus (SSS) compression and head position. SSS compression occurred in 43% cases and 41% controls (without CSVT and undergoing imaging). SSS compression was significantly associated with CSVT and with greater mean angle toward head flexion (p
