“…Approximately 40% of CVST patients experience acute symptomatic seizure [14]. CVST is a cause of stroke in which the venous conduits within the brain become thrombosed, resulting in venous flow obstruction [15]. Reported incidence of CVST is about seven cases per million adults per year.…”

“…Often, the initial presenting symptom is a headache, but there are many other reported clinical presentations of CVST as the clinical manifestations of CVST can be variable. Symptoms include, motor deficits, sensory deficits, nausea, vomiting, confusion, agitation, gait disturbance, cranial nerve findings, visual complaints, seizures, and coma [15]. This variable presentation of CVST creates an essential need for radiographic imaging.…”

Background: Nearly 40% of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) cases experience a seizure. A plethora of problems may arise from seizures. Many of these are well recognized in literature as well as in clinical practice. These include the risk for acute respiratory failure, acute renal injury, demand ischemia of myocardium, aspiration pneumonia, and a variety of musculoskeletal injury. Given the lack Conclusions: RC scoring tool can be used to stratify the seizure risk based on radiographic findings and the clinical presentation in the acute phase of CVST. This predictive tool may be helpful in identifying patients whose seizure risk is high and can potentially further be used as a clinical decision support tool for prophylactic AED treatment.
