Postoperative cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in the setting of surgery adjacent to the major dural venous sinuses

Abstract

This prospective study shows that the radiographic incidence of postoperative CVST is higher than that previously reported in retrospective studies. In the absence of symptoms, these thromboses can be treated conservatively. While no risk factors were identified, there may be an association between postoperative CVST and CSF leak.
