Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) refers to thrombus formation in either the deep or superficial venous drainage systems of the brain. This type of clot is called a thrombus. The most prevalent type of CVST is dural sinus thrombosis (or sinus thrombosis, SVT), which refers to thrombotic occlusion of one or more dural sinuses.

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a type of stroke in which the venous channels of the brain become thrombosed, resulting in cerebral infarction in the areas corresponding to the thrombosis. Clinical manifestations can include headache, papilledema, visual loss, focal or generalized seizures, focal neurologic deficits, confusion, altered consciousness, and coma. Deep cerebral vein thrombosis is a subset of cerebral venous thrombosis involving the internal cerebral veins, often coexisting with cortical vein thrombosis or dural venous sinus thrombosis, and with different clinical presentations relying on which segment is involved.. As such please refer to the cerebral venous thrombosis article for a general discussion. With CSVT, the clot is in a vein that is carrying blood from the brain back to the heart. 2021 Apr 12;S0889-1591(21)00163-X.

These may have particular specific risk factors: Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis, cavernous sinus thrombosis and jugular vein thrombosis: thrombosis of the veins of the brain and head Online ahead of print. Cerebral refers to the brain. They may lead to bleeding into the surrounding brain tissues. (CVT; Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis; Dural Venous Sinus Thrombosis; Sinovenous Thrombosis; Cerebral Sinovenous Thrombosis; Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis; Venous Sinus Thrombosis) Definition A cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a blood clot in a vein of the brain. Cerebral vein and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis Cerebral vein and cerebral venous sinus thromboses are blood clots that form in the veins that drain the blood from the brain called the sinuses and cerebral veins. 1 In all series, headache is the most frequently occurring symptom at any time, present in over 80% of cases, 1 and it is also the commonest initial symptom.
