Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) may manifest as superficial cerebral venous thrombosis (SCVT) or deep cerebral venous thrombosis (DCVT). Of the two patterns, DCVT is less commonly observed, although it often results in greater morbidity and mortality due to involvement of the deep gray nuclei. It can present at any age and typically results in edema of the bilateral thalami, with occasional extension into the basal ganglia.

- The prevalence of lumbar or sacral transitional vertebrae (LSTV) in the population ranges from 4% to 30%, and little research has focused on the conus medullaris (CM) position in those with LSTV.
- A study analyzed spinal MRI data from 822 patients over 10 years, finding that the CM levels varied based on whether patients had lumbarized or sacralized vertebrae.
- The findings revealed that individuals with lumbarized vertebrae had a lower CM level at L1-2, while those with sacralized vertebrae had a higher CM level at T12-L1, with no significant differences based on sex, age, or other pathologies except tethered cords
