Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis primary prevention

Primary prevention of cerebral venous thrombosis is focussed on preventing or reducing the risk of systemic thrombosis.

Primary prevention of cerebral venous thrombosis includes

– proper postoperative care to maintain adequate hydration, early mobilization after surgery, and removal of the central venous line as sooner as possible.

– withdrawing of oral contraceptive pill 4 weeks before in women of reproductive age.

– thromboprophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin should be considered in children with multiple risk factors of venous thromboembolism(VTE).

– children with increased risk of bleeding with anticoagulants, physical methods of VTE as graduated compression stockings (GCS), intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices, and venous foot-pumps (VFPs) can be helpful.^[1]
