Sinus thrombosis

Sinus thrombosis is a serious disease characterized by the formation of a blood clot in the sinuses of the brain. The cerebral sinuses are venous channels that drain blood from the brain to the venous system of the superior vena cava. A blood clot that forms in the sinuses of the brain can lead to impaired blood flow and damage to brain tissue.

Symptoms of sinus thrombosis may include headache, nausea, vomiting, seizures, changes in vision, dizziness, sensory disturbances, and paresis (partial loss of movement) of the limbs. In some cases, sinus thrombosis can lead to a stroke.

Sinus thrombosis can be caused by various factors, such as impaired blood flow, vascular damage, bleeding disorders, infections and tumors. Some people may also have a genetic predisposition to developing blood clots.

Various techniques can be used to diagnose sinus thrombosis, including magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), computed tomography (CT), cerebral angiography, and cerebrospinal fluidography. Treatment for sinus thrombosis may include anticoagulants (drugs that thin the blood), thrombolytic drugs (drugs that break up blood clots), and surgery.

Sinus thrombosis is a serious disease that requires immediate treatment. If you suspect sinus thrombosis, see your doctor as soon as possible. Early detection and treatment of the disease can significantly improve the prognosis and prevent serious complications.

Syndrome Syndrome syndrome, lat. syndrome lit. - “coincidence of signs”) - a syndrome complex described as a clinically significant symptom complex of nonspecific symptoms (symptoms of “common” origin), developing in certain typical situations that do not reveal specific signs of a particular disease or its individual manifestation. This is not a nosology.
