Cerebral venous thrombosis: opportunities of advanced neuroimaging and endovascular interventional therapy (case report)

The objective was to present a clinical case of progressive cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) with use of advanced neuroimaging techniques and a multidisciplinary approach in the emergency treatment strategy. Results. A clinical case of a 48-year-old female patient with CVT was described. The diagnostic search included the use of advanced neuroimaging of brain structures. Due to the insufficient effectiveness of conservative therapy, endovascular intervention was performed – transvenous thrombectomy followed by stenting of the cerebral venous sinuses. Restoring of venous outflow led to the regression of neurological deficit. The case was discussed in the context of current diagnostic and treatment strategies for CVT. Conclusion. CVT is a rare but important cause of stroke, especially in patients without typical risk factors. Timely application of advanced neuroimaging techniques combined with a comprehensive, multidisciplinary treatment approach can lead to favorable clinical outcomes even in severe cases.
