Lindgren, Erik; Silvis, Suzanne M.; Hiltunen, Sini; Heldner, Mirjam R.; Serrano, Fabiola; de Scisco, Michele; Zelano, Johan; Zuurbier, Susanna M.Objective: To identify characteristics, predictors, and outcomes of acute symptomatic seizures (ASS) in cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), we investigated 1,281 consecutive adult patients with CVT included from 12 hospitals within the International CVT Consortium. Methods: We defined ASS as any seizure between symptom onset and 7 days after diagnosis of CVT. We stratified ASS into prediagnosis and solely postdia...
