Cortical Thrombophlebitis

Cortical thrombophlebitis is a rare disorder in which blood clots form in the veins of the brain's cortex, blocking the flow of blood. The most common symptom is a severe headache. If left untreated, it can lead to neurological deficits or stroke. Treatment typically involves anticoagulants and anti-inflammatory medications. Cortical thrombophlebitis is a serious condition and can be life threatening if not managed appropriately. Early diagnosis and treatment is necessary for optimal outcomes and improved quality of life.
