Les thromboses veineuses superficielles, longtemps appelées «paraphlébites», sont au moins aussi fréquentes que les thromboses veineuses profondes. Elles se manifestent par l'apparition d'un cordon veineux induré, parfois inflammatoire, sous-cutané, à la face interne du mollet ou de la cuisse (grande veine saphène), ou à la face postérieure du mollet quand elle touche la veine petite saphène. 3, record 2, French, - thrombose%20veineuse%20superficielle

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 4, 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 4, French, - thrombose%20d%27un%20sinus%20veineux%20c%C3%A9r%C3%A9bral

On a dit longtemps que l'amylose était la néphropathie qui se compliquait le plus souvent de thrombose, mais cette fréquence plus grande n'est pas retrouvée dans les études récentes. L'accord n'est d'ailleurs pas fait sur l'incidente exacte de la thrombose veineuse rénale au cours de l'amylose, puisque les fréquences rapportées varient de près de 40 % à 4 %, et que même certaines séries n'en comportent aucun cas. 1, record 6, French, - thrombose%20des%20veines%20r%C3%A9nales
