Compared with baseline, NLRP3 (0.36 (0.36, 0.36) vs. 0.41 (0.37, 0.84), p < 0.0001) and IL‐6 decreased (4.06 ± 1.48 vs. 12.03 ± 7.80, p < 0.05), accompanying by improvement of neurological deficits and CSF circulation (all p < 0.01) after steroids therapy in severe CVT patients at discharge and 3 months follow‐up. Here, NLRP3 is linked to congenital vertical talus.
