Most people know about strokes caused by blocked arteries. But there's another kind almost no one talks about. A vein inside the brain can get blocked too. This is called CVST, cerebral venous sinus thrombosis. It can happen to: - Young adults - Women on birth control pills - Even children Symptoms to watch for: - Headache that won't go away - Blurred or double vision - Seizures - Sudden confusion It doesn't look like a typical stroke, so it often gets missed. If these symptoms show up gradually and don't improve, ask your doctor for an MRI with venography. Catching it early changes everything. 22 hours ago
