MeSH Heading: Sinus Thrombosis, Intracranial
Tree Number(s): C10.228.140.300.525.425.500; C14.907.253.566.350.500; C14.907.355.590.213.350.500
Unique ID: D012851
RDF Unique Identifier: http://id.nlm.nih.gov/mesh/D012851
Scope Note: Formation or presence of a blood clot (THROMBUS) in the CRANIAL SINUSES, large endothelium-lined venous channels situated within the SKULL. Intracranial sinuses, also called cranial venous sinuses, include the superior sagittal, cavernous, lateral, petrous sinuses, and many others. Cranial sinus thrombosis can lead to severe HEADACHE; SEIZURE; and other neurological defects.
