Cerebrospinal fluid hydrodynamics were investigated with a constant pressure infusion method in patients with superior sagittal sinus thrombosis. Ten patients were studied with serial examinations up to 15 years after the onset of the disease. A total of 70 CSF hydrodynamic examinations were performed. A clear increase in intracranial pressure due to raised pressure in the major dural sinus was...

The role of neurointerventional treatment, including local thrombolysis, for intracranial venous thrombosis (ICVT) currently remains uncertain. We describe a case of postpartum ICVT involving the straight sinus, with rapid neurological deterioration and progressive thrombosis, despite anticoagulation. She underwent multimodality neurointerventional treatment involving attempted mechanical clot ...

We presented a case that an acute in-stent thrombosis after the deployment of a Wingspan stent was successfully managed with a stent in-stent technique. Because vessel perforation and subarachnoid hemorrhage were iatrogenically developed during the procedure, we were unable to use the thrombolytic agents to correct the in-stent thrombosis. When a thrombotic complication following an intracrania...

We present a case of dural cerebral venous thrombosis with coexisting left frontal hemorrhage that was successfully treated with 13.79 million units of urokinase over a period of 165 hours.

Background: Cerebral vein thrombosis, is an emergent condition presenting with a variety of symptoms ranging from isolated headache to profound coma. Case Presentation: We present the case of a previously healthy young woman on the 18th postpartum day admitted into our hospital with a persistent headache for three days followed by seizures and coma. Magnetic Resonance Angiography revealed super...

Subarachnoid hemorrhage and dural sinus thrombosis are important manifestations of neuropsychiatric lupus erythematosus. We report the case of a woman with relapsed lupus nephritis, in partial remission, who presented with the unusual combination of dural sinus thrombosis (due to protein S functional deficiency) and aneurysmal subarachnoid hemorrhage. She had a fatal outcome, as has often been ...
