cerebral trombosis

pathophysiology

is the presence of a blood clot in the dural venous sinuses, which drain blood from the brain. In cavernous thrombosis, a blood clot develops in the sinuses behind your eyes or at the bottom of your skull after an infection and there is a loss of oxygen from a region of the brain as a result of obstruction by a thrombus (clot) of the artery that supplies it

causes

clinical manifestation

nursing intervention

surgical intervention

Direct injury to the venous sinuses

Medical procedures in the head and neck area

Particular blood disorders, especially polycythemia vera

Meningitis and infections of the ear, nose and throat area such as mastoiditis and sinusitis

Sickle cell anemia

In patients with CVT and a single seizure with parenchymal lesions, early initiation of antiepileptic drugs

initial anticoagulation drugs

when this is observed, increased intracranial pressure should be treated urgently

In patients with CVT and increased intracranial pressure, monitoring for progressive visual loss is recommended

it is reasonable to initiate treatment with acetazolamide if intracranial pressure increases

Patients with CVT and a suspected bacterial infection should receive appropriate antibiotics

Blurred vision

Fainting or loss of consciousness

Headache.

Loss of control over movement in part of the body

Coma.

Seizures

Endovascular intervention may be considered if deterioration occurs despite intensive anticoagulation treatment

surgical drainage of purulent collections of infectious
