Epidemiology and Demographics
Incidence
- Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is rare, with 0.3 to 0.4 per 100,000 annual incidence in adults and 0.7 per 100,000 incidence in children (predominantly in the newborn[1]).
Age
- In adults, the disease occurs most often in the third decade.[1]
Gender
- 75% of cases are in women; some historical evidence suggests that the use of oral contraceptives in women is behind the disparity between the sexes.[2]
