Overview
Primary prevention of cerebral venous thrombosis is focussed on preventing or reducing the risk of systemic thrombosis.
Primary prevention
Primary prevention of cerebral venous thrombosis includes
- proper postoperative care to maintain adequate hydration, early mobilization after surgery, and removal of the central venous line as sooner as possible.
- withdrawing of oral contraceptive pill 4 weeks before in women of reproductive age.
- thromboprophylaxis with low molecular weight heparin should be considered in children with multiple risk factors of venous thromboembolism(VTE).
- children with increased risk of bleeding with anticoagulants, physical methods of VTE as graduated compression stockings (GCS), intermittent pneumatic compression (IPC) devices, and venous foot-pumps (VFPs) can be helpful.[1]
