Thrombophilia causes venous thrombosis predominantly, sometimes arterial thrombosis in susceptible individuals causing increased morbidity and mortality. Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is the commonest complication resulting from thrombophilia in young patients that can lead to diagnostic confusion. The treatment is either replacement therapy with prothrombotic factors that are deficient or anti coagulants if CVT occurs. Here we present some interesting three cases of CVT admitted and treated in a tertiary care hospital in South India.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
