Thrombolysis for cerebral vein and dural sinus thrombosis

Analysis of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis in Puerperium

“…A case control study showed that steroids in the acute phase of CVT did not improve outcome. Recovery of consciousness was quicker and recovery from paralysis was also sooner correlates with Canhao P et al [5] study. Anticonvulsant therapy and measures to reduce cerebral oedema are given.…”

Clinical features, course and outcome in deep cerebral venous system thrombosis: an analysis of 32 cases

“…Six of these eight patients with progressing coma were treated with local endovascular therapy which was suggested as beneficial in some case reports and small studies [3,8,10,11,13]. In our series, persisting recanalization was only achieved in two of six patients.…”

Venous sinus thrombosis leading to stroke in a patient with sickle cell disease on hydroxyurea and high hemoglobin levels: Treatment with thrombolysis

“…This however carries a higher risk of hemorrhagic complications and is thus usually reserved for cases that are resistant to or deteriorates despite anticoagulant therapy. A recent review concluded that thrombolysis appeared to be safe in DVST, but its efficacy could not be assessed [21]. In our patient with SCD, locoregional thrombolysis with rTPA was both successful and safe although the patient had a hemorrhagic infarct before onset of therapy.…”
