#JNJ Vaccine Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis Surveillance🧵after @CDCgov #ACIP (for now ...):
1⃣Watch for symptoms like headache, aphasia, paresis, papilledema, seizure, mental status changes
2⃣High-risk groups *seem* to be young women (~20-50), 6-20 days after #JNJ vaccine

1/
3⃣True #CVST event rate is TBD (as is the true background rate)
4⃣PF4 IgG ELISA in all patients for screening (#publichealth reporting) & management (avoiding heparin if positive)
5⃣Consider IV steroids & IVIg for thrombocytopenia
#HemeTwitter
2/
6⃣Report any suspicious events to #VAERS vaers.hhs.gov/reportevent.ht…
7⃣Remember that these are RARE events and the proposed cause of #VITT remains theoretical. This pause is proof that the safety/surveillance system works!

The @CDCgov Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices (ACIP) emergency meeting on the #JNJ vaccine is ongoing. Currently, they're reviewing known data on 8 cases of thrombotic thrombocytopenia. Follow this thread for updates. 1/ #COVID19 #MedTwitter ustream.tv/channel/VWBXKB…
This was the initial @US_FDA announcement yesterday describing the #COVID19Vaccine #JNJ hold. In summary, 6 post-market cases of cerebral venous thrombosis reported as of yesterday (in ~6.8 million doses delivered) prior to the hold.
The awesome @acweyand excellently summarized the data known as of yesteday from the similar #AstraZenaca adenovirus vector vaccines and background on #CVST! #hemetwitter 3/

A lot of talk about #CVST Rare to have neuro in the news, so here's a quick #neurology #Tweetorial on cerebral venous sinus thrombosis.

#MedEd #MedTwitter #neurotwitter @CPSolvers @rabihmgeha @DxRxEdu #EndNeurophobia
I will focus on the condition/neurology, not the possible association w/vaccine or hematology. I leave that to experts like @shemarmoore and her excellent thread here:
First, what are the cerebral venous sinuses?

They are the final pathway of venous drainage from the brain into the jugular veins.

They are formed from folds in the dura.

Vandaag weer een nieuwe aflevering van mijn lievelingsprogramma #NDR #PODCAST Coronavirus Update Folge #80 met @KorinnaHennig en @c_drosten

#AZ cerebrale veneuze sinustrombose

Werd u verrast door de beslissing om het #AstraZeneca #vaccin voorlopig te staken? Ik wist eerlijk gezegd niets over dit speciale optreden van een #CVST. Dat hoorde ik dus voor het eerst gisteren tijdens de aankondiging. Ik heb daarover dus totaal geen achtergrondinfo.
Men moet ervan uitgaan dat de betreffende instanties meer details kennen dan díe 7 op 1.6 miljoen mensen. De vraag die men zich sowieso moet stellen is “zijn deze zeven gevallen allemaal verdacht”? Zijn er misschien nog andere verklaringen voor deze #CVST ?
