Their presentation may be masked by the use of antibiotics. We present a unique case of acute otitis media progressing to occipital, extradural and subdural abscess formation and lateral sinus thrombosis in a child. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

All children underwent laboratory workup for hypercoagulability. All the five children were found to be heterozygote for the C677T MTHFR mutation and a child presented also heterozygosity for factor V Leiden mutation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Symptoms and signs, presence or absence of papilledema, modes of onset, neuroimaging findings, causes and risk factors, including a thrombophilic workup, and outcome at discharge and at 1 year were systematically recorded. [stroke.ahajournals.org]

Intracranial complications in children resulted from unsuccessful treatment of AOM, which led to acute mastoiditis and lateral sinus thrombosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

The prognosis of LST is good if treatment is instituted early with broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics and surgery. The role of clot removal at surgery and the use of anticoagulation are discussed in this paper. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Prognosis of cerebral vein and dural sinus thrombosis: Results of the International Study on Cerebral Vein and Dural Sinus Thrombosis (ISCVT). Stroke 2004;35:664-70. 2. Tanislav C, Siekmann R, Sieweke N, Allendörfer J, Pabst W, Kaps M, et al. [joacp.org]

The overall prognosis was good with 85% of patients having an mRS of 0 or 1 at discharge. This was significantly better than for the other varieties of CVT. [stroke.ahajournals.org]

Clinical, etiologic, and prognostic features were compared with those of other 133 CVT cases. RESULT: Sixty-two patients (32%) had isolated lateral sinus thrombosis. Headaches were present in 95% of patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Etiologic investigation lead to the diagnosis of left lateral sinus thrombosis. Anticoagulation was started with heparin followed by dicumarinics. This treatment was maintained during eight months. [actamedicaportuguesa.com]

In 183 short chapters, the book provides the essentials clinicians need on symptoms/signs, diagnostic tests, and neurologic disorders of all etiologies. For this edition, Timothy A. [books.google.com]

Please refer to the article on cerebral venous thrombosis for a broad discussion on epidemiology and risk factors. Presentation is variable and can range from asymptomatic to coma and death. [radiopaedia.org]

Epidemiology Intracranial venous thrombosis appears to have become more common in recent years. However, this has occurred as modern imaging techniques have improved diagnosis. [patient.info]

To describe a case of lateral sinus insufficiency, presumably occurring just prior to lateral sinus thrombosis (LST), and to discuss the importance of early surgical intervention and the pathophysiology of full-blown LST. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Further inflammation of outer and inner walls of sinus results in the formation of mural thrombosis. [3] In our case, the pathophysiology was osteothrombophlebitis of small venules as evident from radiology of temporal bone (HRCT temporal bone). [indianjotol.org]

Recently, anti-coagulant treatment has been proposed to prevent complications associated with thrombus persistence or its possible propagation 11. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Anticoagulation has been advocated to prevent extension of the thrombus to distal sinuses(27,28). However, it is rarely used now as most infections can be controlled with antibiotics and surgery, and this tends to prevent thrombus propagating. [arquivosdeorl.org.br]

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. This chain of events is part of a stroke that can occur in adults and children. [hopkinsmedicine.org]
