| Summary: | Introduction: Predisposition to cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) also has a genetic basis and inherited thrombophilias constitute 22.4 % of the CVT cases. CVT with a varied clinical presentation and pathogenesis is one of the important causes of stroke which is not very common. Inherited thrombophilias with concomitant acquired risk factors like pregnancy may increase the risk of CVT manifold. Identification of a number of genetic variants increasing susceptibility to CVT and related traits opened up opportunity, to screening of women at high risk of developing obstetric CVT. |
