Radiological diagnosis of cerebral venous thrombosis in paediatric age group by Magnetic resonance venography: Pictorial essay
Abstract
Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) in paediatric age group is often associated with nonspecific clinical complaints. Underdiagnosis or misdiagnosis of cerebral venous thrombosis can lead to severe consequences. Associated findings and complications include haemorrhagic infarction, cortical laminar necrosis, hypoxic ischemic encephalopathy, parenchymal atrophy and extra-axial haemorrhage. Morbidity and mortality can be significant and long-term neurological sequelae include developmental delay, seizures, sensorimotor and visual deficits. This review highlights the need for early detection of CVT, its associations and complications by Magnetic resonance imaging with Magnetic resonance venography. The various etiologies have also been Discussed.
