Abstract :

Background: Cereal venous sinus thrombus is an important cause of stroke in both males and females with more female preponderance. Its varied clinical presentation makes it a diagnostic challenge. Even though its incidence is more among females, strong suspicion of cereal venous sinus thrombus is also necessary to diagnose it among males. Method: This study comprised of 30 male patients diagnosed as cereal venous thrombus from June 2017 to June 2019 in the Department of General Medicine in Government medical College, Kadapa. Results: The mean age of the patients diagnosed with Cereal venous sinus thrombus was 34 years. In clinical presentation head ache was seen in 100% and seizures were seen in 73% cases. Smoking and alcohol as risk factors were seen in 82% of cases. Thrombus involving the Superior sagittal sinus was seen in 60% of cases. Conclusions: This study emphasizes that – Suspect cereal venous sinus thrombus in male patients also even with head ache as presenting symptom since head ache is the most common symptom as was concluded in our study.
