Outcomes of Decompressive Surgery for Patients With Severe Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: DECOMPRESS2 Observational Study.

Background: Decompressive neurosurgery is recommended for patients with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) who have large parenchymal lesions and impending brain herniation. This recommendation is based on limited evidence. We report long-term outcomes of patients with CVT treated by decompressive neurosurgery in an international cohort.

Cerebral Venous Thrombosis, Seasonal Trends, and Climatic Influence: A Region-SpecificStudy.

Background And Purpose: Studies looking at seasonal variation on cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) are few with conflicting conclusions. In this region-specific study, we looked for climatic influence and seasonal trends on the incidence of CVT.

Methods: Imaging proven adult CVT cases treated over a period of 18 years from a specific geographical location with similar seasons and climatic conditions were studied.
