Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST), a complex and infrequent cerebrovascular disorder characterized by the formation of clots within the cerebral venous sinuses, occurs as a result of multiple risk factors and casualties, and its epidemiological picture should be investigated. This descriptive study was conducted retrospectively on patients with a final diagnosis of cerebral vein thrombosis, who were referred to the emergency room of Ghaem Hospital (Mashhad, Iran) between 2009 and 2019.
