Abstract:
Objective To investigate the clinical and imaging features of cerebral cortical vein thrombosis (CoVT). Methods The clinical data of 13 inpatients with CoVT were enroled from September 2010 to September 2015. The etiology, clinical symptoms, imaging features, and differential diagnosis of CoVT w ere summarized and analyzed. Results Among the patients, there w ere 7 females (53.85%) and 6 males (46.15%). Their age ranged from 18 to 59 years (mean 34.23 ±12.08). The most common clinical manifestations were headache (9 patients) and seizures (9 patients). The 13 patients had cerebral parenchymal involvement and they al received anticoagulant therapy. Conclusions The clinical symptoms of CoVT are various. Seizures and headache are the most common symptoms. Most of patients are accompanied by brain parenchymal lesions and venous sinus thrombosis. When patients have headache and seizures, and head images suggest hemorrhagic infarction, imaging examination of the improvement of the cerebral venous system thrombosis is recommended.
