Abstract

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a disease characterised by thrombosis of the cerebral veins and the dural sinuses. It has a variable presentation. It is common in any condition that leads to a prothrombotic state. It leads to cerebrospinal fluid outflow obstruction, thus leading to raised intra-cranial pressure. Management requires a multi-disciplinary approach. Mainstay therapy is with anticoagulants, fibrinolytics. Ophthalmologist play a vital role in the diagnosis and management of this life-threatening condition.
