Abstract: Objective To analyze the risk factors and early prognosis factors of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). Methods 68 patients with CVST were analyzed retrospectively. The patients were divided into early favorable prognosis group and early unfavorable prognosis group according to modified Rankin Scale (mRS). The clinical data and prognosis were analyzed by univariate analysis and multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results and Conclusion On discharge, there were 37(54.4%) cases and 31(45.6%) cases in the early favorable prognosis group and the early unfavorable prognosis group respectively. Univariate analysis showed that 8 factors, including pregnancy-associated factors, central nervous system infection, hyperhomocysteinemia, ocular symptoms, disturbance of consciousness, limb paralysis,secondary cerebral infarction and ventricular compression/midline shift/encephaledema were associated with the early prognosis.Multivariate logistic regression analysis showed that pregnancy-associated factors, central nervous system infection, hyperhomocysteinemia,disturbance of consciousness and ventricular compression/midline shift/encephaledema were the independent factors.
