Studies from University of Lisbon Describe New Findings in Venous Thrombosis (Update On Management of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis).

The article discusses new findings in the management of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), a rare cerebrovascular disease that primarily affects women of fertile age. The research highlights the importance of identifying and addressing risk factors, diagnosing thrombosis through imaging techniques like CT venography or MRI, and treating with anticoagulation. Endovascular treatment may be considered in severe cases, and tailored approaches are necessary for special populations. The study concludes that while most patients achieve good outcomes, residual symptoms can impact quality of life and ability to return to work. [Extracted from the article]
