Diagnosed with Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST)

It seems as though I am not susceptible to blood clots. Lupus work was negative. The hematologist thinks that it was due to a sinus infection that I had in November. Feels as if my body was protecting the brain and formed a clot to block the infection. I wonder has anyone heard of this before?

I'm sure you are relieved that the blood work came back negative. You sound like a very active and involved person. Are you feeling better now with the treatment you are getting?

How do you feel about the doctor's theory about the clot blocking infection to the brain?

If you are at all unsure or have any more symptoms, I would encourage you to get a second opinion at a major university medical school or facility like Mayo Clinic. These types of health centers are the very best to diagnose unusual disorders and they can often be done by a virtual appointment.

Will you post again and let me know how you are doing?
