Abstract
Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST) is a challenging neurological condition characterized by the formation of a clot in the dural venous sinuses of the brain, which can lead to cerebral edema and hemorrhage. Magnetic Resonance Imaging (MRI) plays a critical role in diagnosing CVST due to its high sensitivity and specificity. This study aims to explore the diagnostic and prognostic indicators of CVST using MRI features. A cross‐sectional study was conducted involving 200 patients suspected of CVST based on clinical and neurological presentations. All patients underwent MRI examinations and images were analyzed to identify patterns correlated with clinical outcomes. MRI was instrumental in diagnosing CVST in 184 out of 200 patients, revealing a combination of direct and indirect signs that facilitated a robust diagnosis. The study also identified specific MRI features that are potentially linked with patient prognosis. MRI not only confirms the diagnosis of CVST but also provides valuable prognostic information that can guide treatment decisions. This study highlights the importance of MRI features in the management of CVST and suggests a framework for future research on this condition.
