Elevated Red Cell Distribution Width is Associated with Cerebral Infarction in Aneurysmal Subarachnoid Hemorrhage

Severe Cerebral Venous and Sinus Thrombosis: Clinical Course, Imaging Correlates, and Prognosis
Conclusion The outcome of severe CVT is almost equally divided between severe impairment or death and survival with no or only mild handicap. Specifically, space-occupying mass effect and associated neurologic deterioration seem to determine a poor outcome. Therefore, early detection and treatment of mass effect should be the focus of critical care.
