“…In CVT, when the V nerve is involved, symptoms can manifest as trigeminal neuralgia. Tsimiklis et al ( 2014 ) reported a 33-year-old female with a history of superior sagittal sinus thrombosis characterized by severe recurrent trigeminal neuralgia. An examination revealed that this neuralgia was caused by varicose veins that had compressed the trigeminal nerve.…”

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), also called cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), is a cerebrovascular disease with diverse clinical manifestations that often affects young adults, women of childbearing age, and children. It's most common clinical manifestations are headache, seizures, altered consciousness, and neurological focal signs on physical examination. CVT can manifest as a single symptom, or it can present as a syndrome consisting of multiple symptoms. This non-specific clinical picture makes diagnosing CVT difficult. Although the mortality rate of CVT has been significantly reduced by improvements in treatment and diagnostic techniques, the mortality rate of severe CVT remains as high as 34.2%. Survivors of this type of CVT have varying degrees of residual symptoms and are not able to return to their previous work. Hence, we performed a comprehensive literature search in the PubMed, EMBASE, and Medline databases to review the diagnosis and treatment of CVT.

“…[28] Isolated sixth nerve palsy without intracranial hypertension has been reported with inferior petrosal sinus thrombosis[35] and transverse sinus thrombosis. [36] Isolated trigeminal neuropathy[37] and facial neuropathy[3839] have also been reported. In a study by Duman et al ,[20] cranial nerve palsies were detected in 11% of patients with CVST.…”

Cerebral vein and dural sinus thrombosis (CVST) is an uncommon cause of stroke, but its delayed diagnosis carries significant morbidity and mortality. Several studies have reported higher incidence of CVST than that previously reported. The clinical presentation of CVST varies and can be atypical. Advancement in neuroimaging modalities has made it possible to make an early diagnosis and initiate management with a wide range of therapeutic options, including direct oral anticoagulants and endovascular treatment. This narrative review summarizes the epidemiology, clinical aspects, diagnosis and management of CVST.

“…Leiden mutation of coagulation factor V is the most common cause of hereditary thrombosis. The decrease of anticoagulants and the increase of procoagulant factor (mainly factor V III) activity in patients with TBM lead to blood hypercoagulability and thrombosis [ 10 ]. In addition, TBM directly compresses the venous sinus by forming granulation tissue or abscess, and it can also lead to thrombosis by changing hemodynamics [ 11 ].…”

Aim: Tuberculous meningitis is an infectious disease of the central nervous system caused by Mycobacterium tuberculosis (M. tuberculosis). It mainly involves the meninges and brain parenchyma, as well as the spinal cord and meninges; Disability and mortality rates are high. In recent years, due to the increase of drug-resistant tuberculosis patients, population mobility and the prevalence of acquired immune deficiency syndrome, the incidence rate of tuberculosis has increased significantly, and tuberculous meningitis has also increased. Methods: At present, tuberculosis is still a worldwide infectious disease that seriously threatens human health, especially in underdeveloped and developing countries. China is the largest developing country in the world with a large population. Results: The situation of tuberculosis prevention and control is grim. Its disability rate is the highest in tuberculosis infection. In addition to the common non-specific manifestations, tuberculous meningoencephalitis may also have rare manifestations of stroke, hearing loss and visual loss. Conclusion: Understanding and timely improvement of corresponding examinations and targeted treatment will help improve the prognosis of patients.
