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
Thrombophilia
