Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), a stroke cause in young adults, presents variably, often delaying diagnosis. Recent data improve understanding of CVT epidemiology and treatment, though mortality remains significant.

Area of Science:

  • Neurology
  • Vascular Medicine
  • Public Health

Background:

  • Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a significant cause of stroke, particularly in young adults.
  • Recent decades have seen improved understanding of CVT epidemiology, clinical features, and prognosis due to large international registries.
  • The diverse and often subtle presentation of CVT symptoms frequently leads to delayed or missed diagnoses.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To provide a comprehensive and contemporary review of cerebral venous thrombosis in adults.
  • To highlight advancements in CVT epidemiology and treatment over the past decade.
  • To emphasize the importance of evidence-based therapeutic approaches for CVT.

Main Methods:

  • Review of data from large international registries.

  • Analysis of clinical manifestations and prognostic factors.
  • Synthesis of current therapeutic strategies and evidence from clinical trials and cohort studies.
  • Main Results:

    • CVT exhibits highly variable clinical presentations, ranging from mild headaches to coma.
    • Despite decreased mortality in recent decades, CVT still carries a 5-10% mortality rate.
    • Significant progress has been made in understanding CVT, yet diagnostic delays persist.

    Conclusions:

    • CVT remains a critical neurological condition requiring timely diagnosis and appropriate management.
    • Evidence-based therapeutic strategies, guided by robust clinical data, are essential for optimizing CVT outcomes.
    • Continued research and awareness are crucial for improving the prognosis of cerebral venous thrombosis.
