Seizures and Outcome One Year After Neonatal and Childhood Cerebral Sinovenous Thrombosis.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Pediatric cerebral sinovenous thrombosis is a treatable cause of brain injury, acute symptomatic seizures, and remote epilepsy. Our objective was to prospectively study epilepsy and outcomes in neonates and children one year after cerebral sinovenous thrombosis diagnosis.

Methods

Patients with cerebral sinovenous thrombosis were enrolled prospectively from 21 international sites through the Seizures in Pediatric Stroke Study. Clinical data, including acute symptomatic seizures and cerebral sinovenous thrombosis risk factors, were collected at diagnosis. A neuroradiologist who was unaware of the diagnosis reviewed acute imaging. At one year, outcomes including seizure recurrence, epilepsy diagnosis, antiepileptic drug use, and modified Engel score were collected. O
