Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Score and its Correlation with Clinical and MRI Findings

Background: It is plausible that extent of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) may determine clinical severity, magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) lesion, and outcome, therefore this study was undertaken. Methods: A total of 160 CVST patients were included and their clinical details, risk factors, Glasgow Coma Scale score, and parenchymal lesion on MRI were noted. The extent of venous sinus thrombosis on magnetic resonance venography was assessed by using CVST score which was computed giving 1 point for each thrombosed sinus and 3 points to superior sagittal sinus (SSS).
