Abstract

Neonatal cerebral sinovenous thrombosis (CSVT) is a cerebrovascular disease with a seriously underestimated incidence rate. Due to a lack of specific clinical manifestations and the low sensitivity of conventional imaging examinations, it has long been considered a rare disease in neonates. In recent years, the development of magnetic resonance technology has improved the diagnostic rate of CSVT. This article reviews the research advances in intracranial venous anatomy of neonates and clinical manifestations, imaging features, treatment, and prognosis of CSVT and deep venous thrombosis, in order to improve the understanding and to make correct diagnosis and treatment of neonatal CSVT.

新生儿脑静脉(窦)血栓(cerebral sinovenous thrombosis,CSVT)是一种实际发病率被严重低估的脑血管疾病,因临床表现无明显特征及传统影像学检查灵敏度低,长期以来被认为是新生儿期罕见疾病。近年来,磁共振技术的发展提高了CSVT的诊断率,该文对新生儿颅内静脉解剖、CSVT及深部静脉血栓临床表现、影像学特征、治疗及预后的研究进展做一综述,旨在提高临床医生对新生儿CSVT的认识,有助于正确诊治。.
