Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a type of stroke that occurs when a blood clot forms in the brain's venous channels. This prevents blood from draining out of the brain. As a result, blood cells may break and leak blood into the brain tissues.

- Seizure
- Weakness on one side of the body
- Double vision
- Pain over the back of my head
- Speech that does not make sense, or behavior that is strange
- Headache
- Pain over the temples
- Forehead pain
Diagnostic Questions for Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVT)
Your doctor may ask these questions to check for this disease:
- Have you had a seizure?
- Are you experiencing an inability to move one side of your body?
- Do you see double?
- Do you have pain at the back of your head?
- Do others think you speak incoherently or act irrationally?
Treatment of Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVT)
Anticoagulants or blood thinners are used to treat CVST to prevent new blood clots from forming. Antiseizure medication is given if seizures are present. Antibiotics are given if an infection is present.
