Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: Selected Persisting Areas of Uncertainty

Although a rare stroke type, recent large collaborative efforts have further improved the state of knowledge regarding management of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). However, several areas of uncertainty remain. In this review, we focus on existing evidence and priorities for future research in some select areas in the acute management and longer-term follow-up of CVT: the role of endovascular therapy, management of CVT associated with head and neck infection, management of CVT associated with head trauma, monitoring for papilledema and vision loss, and the role of prophylactic antiseizure medication.
