Nonpyogenic thrombosis of intracranial venous system - what does this mean

Nonpyogenic thrombosis of the intracranial venous system is a condition in which a blood clot forms in a vein in the brain, blocking the flow of blood and causing a buildup of pressure. this can lead to stroke-like symptoms, such as headaches, nausea, and vision changes.

What happens during the disease - nonpyogenic thrombosis of intracranial venous system

Nonpyogenic thrombosis of the intracranial venous system is caused by a combination of factors, including genetic predisposition, hypercoagulability, and local venous stasis due to anatomic malformation or trauma. this leads to a decrease in blood flow, resulting in the formation of a thrombus which then blocks the flow of blood through the affected vessel. this can lead to ischemia, infarction, and in some cases, hemorrhage, depending on the severity of the thrombus.
