Abstract:
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) refers to thrombosis of the intracranial veins and sinuses, which is a rare type of cerebrovascular disease.Due to this highly variable and nonspecific clinical presentations, CVT can be difficult to diagnose.Understanding the pathophysiology and etiology of CVT helps to understand its clinical symptoms and imaging findings and guide the treatment.This article reviews the related advances in the pathophysiology and etiology of CVT.
