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.
The incidence of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is estimated at 0.2 to 0.5 per 100 000 per year.

What is Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis? Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare condition when a large blood clot forms in a large vein in the brain called a dural venous sinus. The clot blocks the dural sinus and prevents the blood flow draining from the brain (Figure 1).

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis causes include: Being pregnant. Taking oral contraceptives (birth control pills). Experiencing a trauma.

When a patient has a history of cerebrovascular disease without any sequelae or late effects, ICD-10 code Z86. 73 should be assigned.
Coding Guidelines Residual neurological effects of a stroke or cerebrovascular accident (CVA) should be documented using CPT category I69 codes indicating sequelae of cerebrovascular disease. Codes I60-67 specify hemiplegia, hemiparesis, and monoplegia and identify whether the dominant or nondominant side is affected.
The dural venous sinuses are located between the endosteal and meningeal layers of the dura mater. They run in their own paths that are not parallel to arteries. The areas drained by the intracranial veins are different from the areas supplied by the major cerebral arteries.
The most common causes for cerebral vein and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in adults are: • Medications that contain estrogen such as birth control pills, patch or ring and estrogen replacement therapy. Elevated levels of estrogen in pregnancy and post-pregnancy period.
Lateral sinus thrombosis, also known as sigmoid sinus thrombosis, forms when infection from the adjacent mastoid contacts and penetrates the venous wall and forms a thrombus. Embolization of the thrombus can cause distal disease.
The most common causes for cerebral vein and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in adults are: • Medications that contain estrogen such as birth control pills, patch or ring and estrogen replacement therapy. Elevated levels of estrogen in pregnancy and post-pregnancy period.
Understanding Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: Rare But Sometimes Fatal. The prognosis of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is favorable compared with other types of stroke: almost 80% of patients with CVT recover without functional disability. Nevertheless, 5% to 10% of patients die in the acute phase.
Abstract. Cerebral venous thrombosis- (CVT-) associated headache is considered a secondary headache, commonly presenting as intracranial hypertension headache in association with seizures and/or neurological signs. However, it can occasionally mimic migraine.
Treatment, which is started as soon as the diagnosis is confirmed, consists of reversing the underlying cause when known, control of seizures and intracranial hypertension, and antithrombotic therapy. Anticoagulation is the mainstay of acute and subacute treatment for CVT.
