摘要

Introduction Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis(CVST)is a special type of cere-brovascular disease characterized by obstruction of cerebral venous reflux,disturbance of cerebrospinal fluid absorption,and intracranial hypertension.It has many causes,and accounts for approximately 0.5％-1％of all strokes.1 The morbidity of CVST is approximately 1.3/100,000,2 with a mortality rate of approximately 5％-10％.3 It has various forms,different clinical manifestations,and lacks specificity;as such,it is easily missed and/or misdiagnosed,often resulting in delayed treatment.The current recommended treatment in patients not undergoing anti-coagulation therapy is anticoagulation therapy as soon as possible.4 However,recent advances in intravascular mechanical thrombectomy techniques suggest that endovascular therapy can be used as an alter-native.5-8 In this study,a patient with CVST was successfully treated with percutaneous intracranial venous thrombectomy using the AngioJet system(Boston Scientific,Marlborough,MA,USA).Clinical symptoms,including headache and vomiting,were significantly improved.Imaging confirmed removal of the thrombus and the patient was discharged 8 days after the procedure.
