The Role of Platelet-Selectin as a Marker of Thrombocyte Aggregation on Cerebral Sinus Venous Thrombosis

Abstract

Cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CVST) is a disease caused by occlusion of intracranial venous structures, including the cerebral sinuses, cortical veins, and the proximal jugular vein. Delay in diagnosis and therapy can lead to complications such as bleeding infarction and even death. Thrombosis that causes CVST is the process of forming a blood clot in a blood vessel. Thrombosis occurs when the balance between thrombogenic factors and the protective mechanisms of thrombogenesis is disturbed. Platelet function abnormalities in CVST cases can be in the form of impaired adhesion function, impaired release or secretion reactions, and impaired aggregation function. Dysfunction and disruption of endothelial structure due to inflammation causes platelet adhesion so that platelets stick together with collagen in endothelial cells. Platelet-selectin is a type 1 transmembrane protein in platelet granules and megakaryocytes and plays a role in mediating interactions between leukocytes and ligands that help the adhesion process of leukocytes and platelets so that they can be used as predictors of thrombosis in patients with CVST.

Keywords: CVST; platelet aggregation; platelet-selectin; prothrombotic.
