Study of Radioclinical and Risk Factors of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis: A Retrospective Analysis of Patients Presenting to a Tertiary Hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia.
Background: Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition characterized by the formation of a blood clot in the dural venous sinuses or cerebral veins. CVT presents a diverse array of clinical symptoms, making its diagnosis challenging. Understanding regional variations and specific risk factors associated with CVT is crucial, especially in low-resource settings like Somalia, where epidemiological data is limited and healthcare resources are scarce.
Objective: This study aims to investigate the clinical and risk factors associated with CVT in patients presenting to Mogadishu Somali-Turkey Recep Tayyip Erdogan Research and Training Hospital, a tertiary hospital in Mogadishu, Somalia.
Methods: We conducted a retrospective observational study involving 68 patients diagnosed with CVT between January 2019 and December 2023. Data included demographic information, clinical presentations, risk factors, and anatomical thrombosis locations. Descriptive statistics and chi-square tests were used for analysis.
Results: The majority of patients were female (86.76%) and aged 20-40 years (86.76%). Significant risk factors included the postpartum period (77.94%) and pregnancy, with statistical analysis showing strong associations between CVT and the postpartum period (χ² = 62.96, p < 0.0001) and pregnancy (χ² = 5.21, p = 0.022). Postpartum CVT was linked to thrombosis location (p = 0.025). Headache was the predominant symptom (98.53%), followed by altered mental status (83.82%), focal motor deficits (80.88%), and seizures (70.59%). The superior sagittal sinus was the most commonly involved site (57.35%).
Conclusion: This study emphasizes the postpartum period as a significant risk factor for CVT in Somalia and highlights the need for clinical vigilance and early intervention strategies. Larger, multicenter studies are needed to validate these findings.
期刊介绍：
The International Journal of General Medicine is an international, peer-reviewed, open access journal that focuses on general and internal medicine, pathogenesis, epidemiology, diagnosis, monitoring and treatment protocols. The journal is characterized by the rapid reporting of reviews, original research and clinical studies across all disease areas.
A key focus of the journal is the elucidation of disease processes and management protocols resulting in improved outcomes for the patient. Patient perspectives such as satisfaction, quality of life, health literacy and communication and their role in developing new healthcare programs and optimizing clinical outcomes are major areas of interest for the journal.
As of 1st April 2019, the International Journal of General Medicine will no longer consider meta-analyses for publication.
