NIMHANS study links nutritional deficiencies and alcohol to venous stroke in Karnataka

A study by researchers at NIMHANS indicates that multiple nutritional deficiencies and alcohol consumption contribute to the high prevalence of cerebral venous thrombosis in Karnataka.

Cerebral venous thrombosis is a subtype of stroke caused by blood clots in veins or venous sinuses draining the brain rather than arteries.

The findings highlight significant dietary and lifestyle risk factors associated with this specific form of cerebrovascular event in the region.
