This rare issue makes up 1% of types of stroke. When a blood clot blocks a major vein in your brain, your blood flows the wrong way. This increases the pressure in your brain and causes it to swell. Typical locations for blood clots from CVST include your: • Transverse sinus. • Superior sagittal sinus. • Inferior sagittal sinus. • Sigmoid sinuses. • Cavernous sinus. • Deep sinuses of your cortex. Symptoms:- Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis symptoms depend on how bad the clot is and its location. Symptoms include: • Headache that keeps getting worse (most common symptom). • Seizures. • Altered mental status and/or new neurologic deficits in the case of a large brain bleed.
