Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis: A Patient Primer

This month, we welcome Dr. Gregory Piazza for an overview on cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), a rare condition that has recently been associated with the Johnson & Johnson COVID-19 vaccine. Dr. Piazza is an Associate Professor of Medicine at Harvard Medical School, Section Head of Vascular Medicine at Brigham and Women's Hospital, and a member of NATF’s Board of Directors.

In March 2023 when suffering the most appallingly severe headaches I was hospitalised and diagnosed with cvst. There were 4 clots, each in a different sinus. Subsequent testing shows these throboses were unprovoked - that is they can't find a cause for them and it seems that they 'just happened'. It's hard for a layman to understand why 4 clots ocurred at the same time, in 4 locations and I'm left wondering if has anything to do with the 2 Astra Zeneca covid vaccinations I had previously received.
