文摘

The usual therapy in cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is based on anticoagulant treatment with adjusted-dose unfractionated heparin. When medical treatment fails, endovascular techniques, such as mechanical thrombectomy, are available. We report a case of a 21-year-old woman with a diagnosis of left CVST, treated by a neurointerventional approach with mechanical thrombectomy using the Penumbra^® System. Despite the fact that only incomplete recanalization was achieved, a gradual resolution of the thrombus and a progressive clinical improvement occurred.
