Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare type of stroke where the thrombosis occurs in the venous side of the brain circulation, leading to occlusion of one or more cerebral veins and dural venous sinus. There are many risk factors for CVT such as pregnancy, puerperium, oral contraceptive pills use, infections, inflammatory diseases, and thrombophilia. CVT is more common in women than in men.The widespread use of neuroimaging now allows for early diagnosis and has completely modified our knowledge on this disorder. CVT is more common than previously thought and it is recognised as a non-septic disorder with a wide spectrum of clinical presentations, numerous causes, and usually a favourable outcome with a low mortality rate. Prognosis of CVT is usually good in more than 80% of patients. However, identification of CVT patients with a possible unfavorable outcome can be challenging. The aim of the present study was to review the possible predictors among CVT patients.
