Relationship between cerebral vein thrombosis and non-anticardiolipin antiphospholipid antibodies

ABSTRACT

Background: anticardiolipin antibody [aCL] has been recognized as a marker for increased risk of Cerebral Vein Thrombosis [CVT]. However, there are only rare reports on CVT associated with other antibodies against different phospholipids such as phosphatidyl inositol, phosphatidyl serine, phosphatidic acid and beta 2 glycoprotein I. In this study, we studied the presence of these antiphospholipid antibodies [aPL], demographic and clinical characteristics in 30 patients with CVT
