Abstract

Stroke caused by thrombosis of the cerebral venous sinuses, also known as CVST, is a rare type of the condition that often affects younger people. The clinical manifestations of CVST are quite varied; hence, a high degree of clinical suspicion is required in order to correctly diagnose the disorders. Materials and Methods: This 18-month prospective observational study was conducted in the Medicine wards of Krishna Institute of Medical Sciences and Research Hospital, Karad. The study examined 64 cerebral venous sinus thrombosis patients' variables. Results: The mean age of research participants was 37.70 (±13.39) years, and 62.5% were 18-40 years old. 40 of 64 patients were 18–40. It's more frequent in middle age. Of 64 patients, 66% were male and 34% were female (1.91:1). 42 men and 22 women participated. Most hospitalised patients stayed fewer than 10 days. 50 of 64 patients stayed fewer than 10 days. Only one patient stayed over 20 days. Though not statistically significant, patient outcomes were better with a stay of less than 10 days. Haemoglobin, hematocrit, and total leukocyte counts were statistically significant for brain venous sinus thrombus distribution. Liver function test, lipid profile, creatinine, and PT/INR had no statistical significance. CVST symptoms vary. In this research, headache, vomiting, thirst, extensor plantar, seizures, fever, motor involvement, papilledema, and altered sensorium were the most prevalent manifestations. This study compares CVST patients. Headache is still the predominant symptom. Fever and papilledema are lower than in earlier investigations.
