Nonthrombotic internal jugular venous stenosis may facilitate cerebral venous thrombosis.

ABSTRACT:

Aims

To explore the effect of nonthrombotic internal jugular venous stenosis (IJVS) exerted on cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT).

Methods

Patients with imaging confirmed CVT were enrolled into this real-world case-control study consecutively from January 2018 through April 2021, and were divided into CVT and IJVS-CVT groups, according to whether or not with non-thrombotic IJVS. Chi-square and logistic regression models were utilized for between-group comparison of thrombotic factors.

Results

A total of 199 eligible patients entered into final analysis, including 92 cases of CVT and 107 cases of IJVS-CVT. Chi-square revealed that thrombophilic conditions were found in majority of CVT, while only minority in the IJVS-CVT group (83.7% vs. 20.6%, p < 0.001). Multivariate l
