Abstract
-
We present a case of extensive thrombosis in the jugular vein and sigmoid, transverse, superior sagittal sinuses with partial deep venous thrombosis. The patient had acute severe headache but had neither focal neurological deficit nor consciousness change. Emergency endovascular thrombolysis through transfemoral approach was performed with successful restoration of venous drainage. There was no hemorrhagic complication. Several days later, the patient had a focal seizure attack due to focal venous infarction despite of continuous systemic anticoagulation therapy.
