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.
Treatment and Medical Assistance
Main goal of the treatment: To reduce the risk of stroke and improve quality of life.
- Medication therapy with anticoagulants and antiplatelet agents
- Surgical treatment with endovascular thrombectomy
- Intracranial stenting
- Intracranial bypass surgery
- Cerebral venous sinus stenting
- Angioplasty and stenting of the affected veins
- Regular monitoring with imaging studies
- Lifestyle modifications to reduce risk factors

28 Days of Hospitalization Required

Average Time for Outpatient Care Not Established
Nonpyogenic thrombosis of intracranial venous system - Prevention
Nonpyogenic thrombosis of the intracranial venous system can be prevented by maintaining a healthy lifestyle, avoiding smoking, controlling blood pressure and cholesterol levels, and taking anticoagulant medications as prescribed.
