Diagnosis, treatment and prevention of cerebral venous thrombosis / 中华神经科杂志

ABSTRACT

Cerebral venous thrombosis is a rare type of cerebrovascular diseases. Its etiology and risk factors are different from those of cerebral artery occlusive disease, which are mainly related to prethrombotic state caused by various reasons. The clinical symptoms are complex and diverse, lacking of characteristic manifestations. Neuroimaging examination is the main basis for the diagnosis. Magnetic resonance imaging/magnetic resonance venography is the best way to diagnose the disease and follow-up the patients′ condition. At present, the management of the disease is mainly aimed at etiology treatment and vascular recanalization treatment, of which anticoagulation is the most important means, and there is still a lack of recognized effective measures in prevention.
