Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis(CVST) occurs when a blood clot forms in the brain's venous sinuses. This prevents blood from draining out of the brain. As a result, blood cells may break and leak blood into the brain tissues, forming a hemorrhage. 4, record 3, English, - cerebral%20venous%20sinus%20thrombosis

La TSVC est causée par la présence d'un caillot dans les veines ou les sinus du cerveau, soit des veines à la surface extérieure (superficielles), soit des veines profondément à l'intérieur du tissu du cerveau. Le caillot bloque le drainage du sang et des liquides cérébraux. Il peut causer l'inflammation du cerveau, une pression accrue à l'intérieur du crâne ou une hémorragie au cerveau. 3, record 3, French, - thrombose%20d%27un%20sinus%20veineux%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9bral
