Post-partum Cavernous Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST): A Case Report
Abstract:
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is one of the most serious and fatal disorder of intracranial venous pathways characterized by clot formation in Cerebral venous sinuses. Generally, CVST is a fulminating process with a high rate of mortality (1 in 3 patient) secondary to a spreading bacterial infection specially over head and neck region where coagulase positive Staphylococcus (90%) is mostly responsible. Individuals with hypercoagulable state i.e., pregnancy or puerperium and malignancy can also suffer from this form of thrombosis.
