Cerebral venous thrombosis

Abstract

Classical descriptions of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) have been known since the early 19th century and are based on autopsy data. Focal neurological symptoms, seizures, and coma were considered typical clinical manifestations of CVT. Progress in the development of neuroimaging technology has contributed to the expansion of ideas about the etiology, pathogenesis, spectrum of clinical manifestations and the course of this disease. Currently, the most urgent are the problems of early diagnosis and effective therapy of CVT.
