Glymphatic Function and White Matter Integrity in Cerebral Venous Disorders
Sponsor: Xuanwu Hospital, Beijing
Summary
Cerebral venous disorders, including cerebral venous sinus stenosis (CVSS) and cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), can obstruct venous blood drainage, leading to intracranial hypertension. However, their effects on glymphatic function and white matter integrity in the brain remain poorly understood. Therefore, this study will enroll healthy controls, CVSS patients, and CVST patients to compare differences in glymphatic function and white matter microstructural integrity. Additionally, CVSS and CVST patients will undergo a 3-month follow-up to investigate the interrelationships and longitudinal changes among clinical parameters, glymphatic function, and white matter integrity.

Interventions
Baseline and 3-month follow-up
At baseline and day 90 (±14) post-enrollment: 1. Collect clinical data; 2. Administer multiple scales to assess clinical symptom severity and neuropsychological status; 3. Perform cranial diffusion tensor imaging (DTI) to evaluate glymphatic function and white matter integrity; 4. Collect peripheral blood and cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) samples for biomarker level analysis.
