“…1 Xu et al 9 reported that CVST occurs most typically in the 20-to 45-year-old male patients with initial onset of NS or poorly controlled nephrosis due to the massive loss of endogenous antithrombotic factors and acute hypovolemia during these periods of the disease. 27 The superficial venous system is involved more commonly than the deep venous system, and the commonest site of CVST is the superior sagittal sinus, followed by transversal, sigmoid, and straight sinuses, 28 but in two thirds of the cases more than 1 sinus is involved. 29 Imaging examination such as plain CT or MRI, which has less impact on renal function, should be used as the initial evaluation of NS patients with suspected CVST.…”
