Özet
Scientific background: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare disorder with strikingly diverse manifestations that may mimic the clinical features of other neurological conditions. The experience of each neurological center in the diagnosis and management of CVT is known as a few cases each year, and therefore the reported case series could not avoid referral bias. Patients and methods: In this study, we analyzed the correlation between the mortality and the radiological or clinical findings in 20 patients with CVT, and then, we pooled the data from the available previous studies (11 prospective and retrospective studies) and our study and performed a combined analysis of predictors for mortality. Results: Seizure (p=0.018), coma on admission (p=0.012), age (p=0.001), focal deficit (p=0.002), hemorrhagic lesion (p=0.001) were found in association with poor prognosis. In combined analysis, the negative predictive values of all these parameters were found high, but the positive predictive values were found low. Conclusion: Initial clinical features and findings of the patients with sinus venous thrombosis may give information about the prognosis.
