High-altitude exposure and cerebral venous thrombosis: an updated systematic review. High Alt Med Biol. 24:167-174, 2023. Background: High altitude (HA) may increase the risk of cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT). Differentiating it from other HA illnesses is crucial for prompt treatment and better outcomes. We aimed to summarize the clinical data, etiology, and risk factors of this poorly understood entity at an HA. Materials and Methods: A systematic literature search of various databases, including PubMed, Embase, and Google Scholar, was done using relevant keywords; cerebral venous thrombosis; HA, up to May 1, 2022. Results: A total of nine studies, including 75 cases of CVT at HA (3,000-8,848 m), with 66 males and 9 females, were included in this review. Headache and seizure were the most common clinical presentations. Smoking, drinking habits, and the use of oral contraceptive pills (OCP) were the most common risk factors for the development of CVT. Similarly, various underlying hypercoagulable states were also present among cases of CVT associated with HA exposure. Conclusion: Our review concludes that HA exposure can predispose individuals with risk factors such as preexisting hypercoagulable states, smoking, drinking habits, and use of OCP to an increased risk of CVT.
