CONT

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.

CONT

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.
