Abstract

Cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis (CVST) is an infrequent cerebral venous system disease caused by a lot of reasons, which usually affects young and middle-aged adults. Due to variable clinical presentations, such as headache, vomiting, epilepsy and local neurological impairment, CVST is easy to be misdiagnosed or missed in diagnosis, with a high morbidity and mortality. To improve the standard diagnosis and treatment of CVST and guide the clinical practice of neurologists and neurosurgeons, Multicenter Expert Consensus Group on Diagnosis and Treatment of Cerebral Venous and Sinus Thrombosis in China wrote the "Chinese expert consensus on diagnosis and treatment of cerebral venous and sinus thrombosis" in the year 2013. This paper aims to interpret the main contents of this consensus. DOI: 10.3969/j.issn.1672-6731.2016.12.003
