Neuranatomical and Imaging Aspects of Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST)

Abstract

Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST) is a relatively rare but serious neurological disorder, and reversible if diagnosed correctly and received appropriate treatment. Proper diagnosis to recognize CVST is necessary. Understanding neuroanatomy and imaging plays an important role in the diagnosis of CVST because the causative factors and clinical manifestations of this disorder may be vary. Patients will receive immediate effective treatment if CVST can be diagnosed early. Late diagnosis will lead to high morbidity and mortality.
