How long cerebral venous sinus thrombosis lasts

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis can last hours or weeks. Your case will be in one of these categories:

  • Acute: Up to 48 hours.
  • Subacute: More than 48 hours, but up to 30 days. (This is the most common type.)
  • Chronic: One month or longer.

Outlook for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis

The outlook is good for people who get the right diagnosis and treatment for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. However, CVST can be fatal if you aren’t diagnosed and treated early.
