Anticoagulation for cerebral sinus thrombosis

Isolated cortical venous thrombosis after fetal demise

“…Regarding the outcome, most reported cases improved with anticoagulation, aspirin and statin,7 13 14 22 24 26 and that was the case in our patient as her right-upper limb weakness improved within few days of starting treatment.…”

Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis in children

“…This study was criticized because the placebo group was less symptomatic than the treatment group. A meta-analysis of this study and the study by Einhaupl et al [29] did not show a statistically significant reduction in death or dependency for anticoagulated patients [31]. Anticoagulation does not appear to promote ICH or worsen outcome in children or adults.…”

A rare cause of thunderclap headache

“…A meta-analysis of the two studies that met minimal methodological standards showed a reduction in the pooled relative risk of death or dependency of 0.46 (95% confidence interval 0.16 to 1.31). 12 Although not statistically significant, for most experts these results confirmed clinical observations that patients on heparin tend to have better outcomes. Heparin is now generally accepted and recommended as first line treatment for cerebral venous thrombosis.…”
