Theodosios Tsinas: Cerebral Venous Thrombosis – A Less Recognized Cause of Stroke
Theodosios Tsinas, Director of diagnostic and interventional Neuroradiology at Mediterranean Hospital of Cyprus – MHOC, shared a post on LinkedIn:
“World Thrombosis Day | 13 October
Not every stroke is of arterial origin.
Cerebral venous thrombosis occurs when a clot blocks the veins or venous sinuses responsible for draining blood from the brain.
Although it accounts for approximately 0.5–3% of strokes, it can particularly affect younger adults and women during pregnancy or the postpartum period.
Warning signs may include:
- New or progressively worsening headache
- Seizures
- Weakness or speech disturbance
- Visual symptoms or confusion.
Early recognition and appropriate imaging with CT venography or MRI/MR venography can be decisive.
Learn more in my new patient-information article.”
