“…Another reason for this high percentage in our study might be related to some traditional habits in our community, specified to married women, something like Sawna called “Dukhan'' that leads to steaming and profuse fluid loss through sweating, which leads to dehydration and increase the viscosity of the blood in the ladies who are already in a hypercoagulable state. A related study published in 2015 from Sudan showed that the incidence of pregnancy-related Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST) is 0.01 per 100.000, with most of the cases identified postnatally as in agreement with our study results [ 35 ]. A more identifiable risk factor is the use of OCPs by ladies for different reasons.…”

“…A related study published in 2015 from Sudan showed that the incidence of pregnancy related Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST) is 0.01 per 100.000, and most of the cases identi ed postnatally -in agreement with our study results (35) . A more identi able risk factor which is the use of an OCPs by ladies for different reasons, in this study it was accounted for 27.6% while in the international International Study on Cerebral Vein and Dural Sinus (ISCVT) it was 54.3% this can be explained by the wide use of OCPs in the west more than in our countries, generally the risk was associated with the combined OCPs.…”

Background Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is relatively uncommon cause of stroke mainly affects young ladies, with a wide spectrum of symptoms severity and prognosis. In this study we aim to study the clinical profile and Risk Factors of CVST among Sudanese patients in Khartoum state hospitals. Methods This is an observational cross-sectional multi-center hospital based study which covered 37 participants, in three major hospitals in khartoum, with radiologically confirmed Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST) Results 37 patients were included in this study, The mean age of patients was 38.5 ± 13.4 years, with minimum age of 23 years and maximum of 75 years, the largest group (n = 18, 48.6%) were in the range between “26–35” years, regarding gender distribution (n = 8; 21.6%) were males and the majority of patients were female (n = 29; 78.4%), the commonest presenting feature was headache (n = 35; 94.6%), followed by blurring of vision (n = 25; 67.6%), while seizures is a presenting symptom in nearly half of the patients (n = 17; 45.9%), on examination papilloedema was present in 83.8%. In this study 13.8% were pregnant, 31.0% were postpartum, OCPS user account for 27.%, and No risk factor present in 32.4%. regarding the involved sinus Sagittal Venous Sinus and the transverse sinus were the most affected sinuses. Regarding treatment options: “low molecular weight heparin followed with warfarin” was found in 81.1%, followed with heparin only 10.8%, while the new agents NOACs comprised only 8.1%. Conclusion The study concluded that Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis is mainly a disease of child-bearing women, although significant proportions of men were affected. Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis presents in a wide variety of signs and symptoms.

“…This is due to the association of CVT with pregnancy, puerperium and oral contraceptives. [1] As per thedata of the international study on cerebral vein and dural sinus thrombosis , transverse sinus (86%) is the most commonly affected site followed by superior sagittal sinus (62%) and straight sinus (18%), and most of the time more than one site is affected. [2] It mostly presents with headache that progresses slowly(95%) with or without diplopia due to sixth nervepalsy as a result of raised intracranial pressure.…”
