MECHANICAL THROMBECTOMY IN CEREBRAL VENOUS SINUSOIDS THROMBOSIS – CASE REPORT
Abstract:
Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a relatively uncommon cause of stroke and
other neurologic complications who may lead to venous infarction, a different entity of other ischemic
stroke. The widespread availability of noninvasive brain imaging has led to an increase in its
diagnosis. Incidence is much higher in younger patients with a female predominance. The initial
treatment for CVST is systemic anticoagulation. Endovascular procedures are considered for patients
who exhibit progressive neurological decline despite therapeutic anticoagulation it can be a lifesaving
therapy. We present the clinical case of a young patient with CVST with important risk factors
unresponsive to medical treatment and treated by venous sinus thrombectomy
