Cerebral Venous Thrombosis in Previously Healthy Patients with Cryptococcal Meningitis
CVST is a potentially treatable complication of CM. MRI and MRV of the brain are valuable diagnostic tools. The absence of thrombophilia mutations suggests that neurologic infection itself contributes to thrombotic risk. Notably, CSF gene expression patterns may serve as biomarkers for CVST susceptibility. Future case-control studies may validate these findings and uncover genetic risk factors contributing to CVST.
