Abstract
BACKGROUND Cerebral venous thrombosis, a rare stroke, is characterized by neurological dysfunction caused by bleeding and/or infarction resulting from venous sinus thrombosis, the so-called venous stroke. Current guidelines recommend anticoagulants as first-line therapy in the treatment of venous stroke. With complicated causes of cerebral venous thrombosis, treatment is difficult, especially when combined with autoimmune diseases, blood diseases, and even COVID-19. AIMS This review summarizes the pathophysiological mechanisms, epidemiology, diagnosis, treatment, and clinical prognosis of cerebral venous thrombosis combined with autoimmune diseases, blood diseases, or infectious diseases such as COVID-19. CONCLUSION A systematic understanding of particular risk factors that should not be neglected when unconventional cerebral venous thrombosis occurs and for a scientific understanding of pathophysiological mechanisms, clinical diagnosis, and treatment, thus contributing to knowledge on special types of venous stroke.

Wang C, Sun J, Shao J, Zhang X, Chen X. Clinical Observation and Value Analysis of Endovascular Interventional Therapy for Intracranial Venous Sinus Thrombosis. BIOMED RESEARCH INTERNATIONAL 2022; 2022:4931210. [PMID: 35747500 PMCID: PMC9213190 DOI: 10.1155/2022/4931210] [Citation(s) in RCA: 2] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.0] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [MESH Headings] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 04/20/2022] [Revised: 04/29/2022] [Accepted: 05/07/2022] [Indexed: 11/17/2022]
Abstract
The main aim of this study was to investigate the therapeutic effect of endovascular interventional therapy on cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). 137 patients with CVST were included, 92 patients were treated with interventional therapy, and 45 patients were treated with conventional anticoagulant therapy. Through endovascular therapy (EVT) combined with therapy, the patients were treated with EVT in combination with conventional anticoagulant therapy, and the prognosis of the two groups of patients was evaluated. The results showed that 26 patients were complicated with female-specific infections in the combined EVT group, and 7 patients had female-specific infections in the simple anticoagulant therapy (LMWH) group. In terms of central nervous system infections, the EVT group was significantly lower than the LMWH group, P < 0.001, and the difference was statistically significant. There were 2 cases of EVT involving the inferior sagittal sinus and 12 cases of LMWH involving the inferior sagittal sinus, P < 0.001, and the difference had statistical significance. Through the RANKIN scale (mRS) score, it was classified as complete recovery and good prognosis (dependent variable). The patients receiving EVT with good prognosis (96.7%) were more than those receiving simple anticoagulant therapy (84.4%), and 78.3% were completely recovered after EVT, and 77.5% were completely recovered after anticoagulant therapy. Therefore, it can be concluded that gender, malignant tumors, thrombosis, and sinuses are all risk factors affecting the prognosis of patients; both endovascular interventional therapy and anticoagulant therapy can significantly improve the prognosis of patients.

Anticoagulation treatment and prophylactic edoxaban for cerebral sinus venous thrombosis in an adolescent with acute lymphoblastic leukemia. SAGE Open Med Case Rep 2021; 9:2050313X211013225. [PMID: 34017593 PMCID: PMC8114254 DOI: 10.1177/2050313x211013225] [Citation(s) in RCA: 1] [Impact Index Per Article: 0.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 11/29/2020] [Accepted: 04/07/2021] [Indexed: 01/19/2023] Open
Abstract
Pediatric acute lymphoblastic leukemia regimens include large L-asparaginase dosages and steroids, which are associated with an increased risk of venous thromboemboli in adolescents and young adults. Herein, we report the case of an 18-year-old male with acute lymphoblastic leukemia, who was treated with the pediatric regimen, in which edoxaban was employed as a prophylaxis against cerebral sinus venous thrombosis. The event happened on day 20 of induction therapy, when brain magnetic resonance imaging demonstrated a cerebral sinus venous thrombosis in the superior sagittal sinus. Anticoagulation therapy was initiated, and the patient's symptoms disappeared 3 days later. The induction therapy was restarted after an interruption of 16 days, and the consolidation therapies, which included L-asparaginase and steroids, were completed. Edoxaban was administered as a prophylaxis during the consolidation therapy. There were no further adverse events. Edoxaban could be an effective prophylaxis for coagulation complications in adolescents and young adults with acute lymphoblastic leukemia.

Abstract
Patients with hematological diseases often experience cerebrovascular complications including ischemic stroke, intracerebral and subarachnoid hemorrhage, microbleeds, posterior reversible encephalopathy syndrome, and dural sinus and cerebral vein thrombosis (CVT). In this update, we will review recent advances in the management of cerebrovascular diseases in the context of myeloproliferative neoplasms, leukemias, lymphomas, multiple myeloma, POEMS, paroxysmal nocturnal hemoglobinuria (PNH), thrombotic thrombocytopenic purpura (TTP), and sickle-cell disease. In acute ischemic stroke associated with hematological diseases, thrombectomy can in general be applied if there is a large vessel occlusion. Intravenous thrombolysis can be used in myeloproliferative neoplasms and sickle-cell anemia, but in other diseases, a case-by-case evaluation of the bleeding risks is mandatory. Patients with sickle-cell disease and acute stroke need very often to be transfused. In PNH, acute ischemic stroke patients must be anticoagulated. Most patients with CVT can be treated with low-molecular weight heparin (LMWH) acutely, even those with leukemias. Prevention of recurrence of cerebral thrombotic events depends on the control of the underlying disease, combined in some conditions with antithrombotic drugs. The recent introduction of specific monoclonal antibodies in the treatment of PHN and TTP has dramatically reduced the risk of arterial and venous thrombosis.

Abstract
Acute lymphoblastic leukemia (ALL) is a hematological malignancy. There are many risk factors for thrombus development in patients with ALL, and thrombi may develop in different parts of the body. Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare complication of ALL that usually appears during treatment. We present a patient who developed CVST twice, once before diagnosis and once after treatment for ALL. We also reviewed the literature describing ALL and CVST.
