Mechanical thrombectomy in patient with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis: case report

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare type of stroke and standard treatment involves anticoagulation. However, in some patients anticoagulation does not lead to occlusion recanalization and clinical improvement. Endovascular treatment can serve as an effective and safe option for this group of patients. We present a case report of 24-years-old patient with cerebral venous sinus thrombosis due to combined oral contraceptive pills. Patient was refractory to anticoagulation treatment. Mechanical thrombectomy was performed with thrombus aspiration from superior sagittal and transverse cerebral sinuses. After 6 days patient was discharged with good functional and neurological outcome
