Treatment and outcome of childhood cerebral sinovenous thrombosis

Conclusions Within the IPSS registry, children with risk factors of trauma or intracranial surgery were less likely to receive anticoagulation for CSVT. Anticoagulation was associated with a lower odds of severe neurologic impairment or death at hospital discharge, but this finding is limited and needs further confirmation in randomized, controlled, prospective studies.
