The natural history and epidemiological aspects of traumatic cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) are not fully understood. Due to the concomitant occurrence with intracranial hemorrhages, guidelines for medical treatment have been highly controversial. In this study, our objective was to carry out an analysis description of the population and to conduct a literature review. A prospectively gathered radiology registry data of patients hospitalized at the tertiary hospital of Centro Hospitalar Universitário do São João, Porto, Portugal, between 2016 and 2021 was carried out...

Menopausal hormone therapy (MHT) is known to increase the risk of venous thromboembolism (VTE), which includes deep vein thrombosis, pulmonary embolism, and less frequently cerebral vein thrombosis, but the absolute risk for a given patient is very low. After starting MHT, the risk of VTE seems to be at its highest, declining to the non-HRT user baseline level of risk after stopping. Whether estrogen-only or estrogen-progestin HRT combination is linked to a similar risk of VTE is unclear from the available evidence...

BACKGROUND AND PURPOSE: Cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) is a rare but life-threatening disease and its diagnosis remains challenging. Blood biomarkers, including D-Dimer are currently not recommended in guidelines. Soluble endothelial receptor proteins (sICAM-1, sPECAM-1 and sVCAM-1) have been shown to be promising diagnostic biomarkers in deep vein thrombosis (DVT) and pulmonary embolism (PE). Therefore, we examined endothelial receptor proteins as potential biomarkers for detecting CSVT...

Spontaneous intracranial hypotension (SIH) typically presents as an acute orthostatic headache during an upright position, secondary to spinal cerebrospinal fluid leaks. New evidence indicates that a lumbar puncture may not be essential for diagnosing every patient with SIH. Spinal neuroimaging protocols used for diagnosing and localizing spinal cerebrospinal fluid leaks include brain/spinal MRI, computed tomography myelography, digital subtraction myelography, and radionuclide cisternography. Complications of SIH include subdural hematoma, cerebral venous thrombosis, and superficial siderosis...

BACKGROUND: The importance of thromboembolism in the pathogenesis of lacunar stroke (LS), resulting from cerebral small vessel disease (cSVD), is debated, and although antiplatelets are widely used in secondary prevention after LS, there is limited trial evidence from well-subtyped patients to support this approach. We sought to evaluate whether altered anticoagulation plays a causal role in LS and cSVD using 2-sample Mendelian randomization. METHODS: From a recent genome-wide association study (n=81 190), we used 119 genetic variants associated with venous thrombosis at genome-wide significance ( P <5*10-8 ) and with a linkage disequilibrium r2 <0...

Tuberculous otitis media is an uncommon cause of chronic suppurative infection affecting the middle ear and mastoid. Unfortunately, the signs and symptoms of tuberculous otitis media are very similar to those of non-tuberculous otitis media, which can make early diagnosis challenging. It is crucial to diagnose and treat the condition early to prevent damage to the ear and potential complications involving the central nervous system. We present a case of a 13-year-old Saudi girl who presented with a two-week history of headaches associated with photophobia...

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) in infants is a rare vascular disorder that presents with nonspecific symptoms leading to a delay in diagnosis and treatment. Thrombus formation in the cerebral sinuses prevents blood from draining out of the brain leading to local and systemic complications. Here, we present an 11-week-old patient who presented to the emergency department (ED) with three days of lethargy, multiple episodes of projectile emesis, increased fussiness, and downward gaze. A CT scan demonstrated intraventricular hemorrhage (IVH) with acute hydrocephalus...
