“…Neurological deficits were found by deVeber et al (2001) in 38% of the children they studied. Other studies report neurological deficits in 0 to 40% (Barron et al 1992, Medlock et al 1992, Holzmann et al 1999, Lancon et al 1999, deVeber et al 2000, Carvalho et al 2001.…”

“…A recent study in Canada (deVeber et al 2001) reported an incidence of 0.67 per 100 000 children per year (including neonatal CVST). In children the most frequent causes are regional infections, such as otitis media and mastoiditis, and chronic systemic illnesses (Barron et al 1992;Medlock et al 1992;Holzmann et al 1999;Lancon et al 1999;deVeber et al 2000deVeber et al , 2001Carvalho et al 2001). There is little information about the long-term consequences of CVST, especially on neuropsychological sequelae and quality of life.…”

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare but potentially serious disorder in children. There is no literature on the long‐term neuropsychological and emotional sequelae and implications for quality of life. We studied 17 children who had CVST after the neonatal period, aged between 1 month and 16 years at the time of CVST (mean age at CVST was 6 years, median 4 years 8 months). Five children died during follow‐up. The cause of death was related to CVST in one child. Twelve children participated in a clinical follow‐up assessment. Mean follow‐up was 2 years 8 months. One child had physical sequelae with impairment of skilled movement. All children had average or high intelligence scores. Two children with CVST due to an uncomplicated mastoiditis had mild cognitive deficits: one child had difficulty with written language; the other had diminished cognitive efficiency with concentration and attention problems associated with decreased psychosocial functioning. Decreased physical well‐being was reported in three of 12 children. We conclude that children who had survived CVST had a fair prognosis. Most had normal cognitive and physical development, although mild cognitive deficits or decreased physical and psychosocial well‐being can occur.

“…While some of researchers defend routine usage (11,15,18,19), others think that this treatment way will not be efficient (14,16,17). Even some researchers defending the use of oral anticoagulants observed that desired anticoagulant level was not reached in most of patients treated with heparin (20). It was suggested that sigmoid sinus recanalization could be performed without use of oral anticoagulant (17).…”
