Özet
OBJECTIVE: Venous stasis, genetic and acquired factors and also inflamation are important in the formation and re- canalisation of cerebral venous thrombosis. In this study we aimed to investigate important indicators such as total white blood cell, neutrophil and lymphocyte counts and also neutrophil/lymphocyte ratio in the early phase of cerebral venous thrombosis. MATERIAL and METHODS: Thirty-five patients with evidence of CVT were included in this study. CVT patients were divided into two subgroups based on the presence or absence of parenchymal lesion. Count of blood cells (CBC) were compared with healthy control objects. RESULTS: Leukocyte and neutrophil counts and neutrophil / lymphocyte ratio were significantly higher in the CVT group who has parenchymal lesions than the control group in the early phase of CVT. CCONCLUSION: There may be a relationship between inflammation and the level of severity of illness in CVT patients on admission. This relationship may be guiding the determination of treatment and prognosis.
