Variants of venous sinus structure in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis

The aim of the paper is to study venous sinus structure in patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) depending on constitutional venous insufficiency (CVI). Materials and methods. The study included 50 CVT patients aged 25-77 years (mean age 52.5±14): 15 men (25.6 %) aged 46-75 years (mean age 54±12) and 35 women (74.4 %) aged 25-77 years (mean age 53.5±14). The authors assessed patients' complaints, anamnesis, neurological status and assigned CVI clinical criteria. All patients underwent magnetic resonance venography. Results. In the study, transverse sinus CVT (24 cases (48.0 %)) and a combination of thrombosis of several localizations (19 cases (38.0 %)) were observed more often. Cavernous, superior sagittal and sigmoid sinus thromboses were observed in 2 (4.0 %), 2 (4.0 %) and 3 (6.0 %) cases, respectively. Left-sided CVT was observed more often compared with right-sided CVT (36 cases (72.0 %)) (p
