Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis happens more often in people assigned female at birth (AFAB). Although most people get it in their 40s and 50s, you can get it at a younger age — even in infancy.

You’re more likely to get cerebral venous sinus thrombosis if you already have:

  • Nephrotic syndrome.
  • Cancer.
  • Vasculitis.
  • Sarcoidosis.
  • Obesity.
  • COVID-19.
  • Thrombophilia.
