ObjectiveTo examine the incidence, characteristics, treatment, and predictors of late seizures (LS) after cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT), we described these features in a registry of 1,127 patients with CVT.MethodsWe included consecutive adult patients from an international consortium of 12 hospital-based CVT registries.
