Neurologist,  's  Response
Hi,

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) refers to clotting of blood in brain veins. I would like to reassure you that with good treatment, most patients recover well in six months. Acitrom is a blood thinner that needs to be continued for 6 months. The dose needs adjustment on the basis of blood test called PT/INR. Levesam is a medicine for controlling seizures.

Hope I have answered your question. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Sudhir Kumar, Neurologist
