ABSTRACT

Background: Within cerebral vascular disease, venous thrombosis is an entity that until now has been little considered due to its low frequency (0.5 to 1%) worldwide, according to different reports in the literature. Currently, there is a great difference between the incidence reported in the different populations studied, as well as the risk factors for its development. In Mexico, the information is relatively low and variable frequencies ranging from 0.43 to 8% have been reported.
Objective: To determine the incidence of cerebral venous thrombosis in patients who were treated at Hospital Ángeles Pedregal, Mexico City, in a period of 5 years (2013 to 2018).
Materials and Methods: A descriptive, single-center study of a retrospective cohort that included all patients diagnosed with cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) from January 2103 to December 2018 al Hospital Ángeles Pedregal, Mexico City.
Results: During the study period, there were 17 cases of cerebral venous thrombosis; headache was the most frequent symptom, and the most frequent predisposing factor was infectious.
Conclusions: Cerebral venous thrombosis in Mexico is more frequent than that reported in world literature, as it was observed in this study with an incidence of 7.6%.
