Sqad" Vulcan.......yes, I can.
A stroke is caused by a clot in the arteries of the brain....I.e it is on the arterial side supplying blood to the brain and in this group there is no association with the vaccine.
CVST: also in the brain, but on the venous side are "lakes" of blood which are preparing blood tobereturned to the heart, on of which is called the cavernous sinus.
If these boys clog up, then it is a big deal but since the era of antibiotics circa 1940,s they have become rare......very rare.
Now, since the Covid vaccination, they have been showing up again....still rare, but now in the frame.

I have just made the connection! I knew of a person, he was a patient of mine, back in the early 70's who had one. He was out on a trawler and had toothache due to an abcess. He carried on working and the infection tracked up his jaw and he had a stroke. He was one of the fortunate ones who made a good recovery, not good enough to go back to sea, but he had been the cook so retrained as a chef. Its why I don't play silly devils with toothache or sinusitis
