Abstract

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is generally treated with anticoagulation therapy, however, endovascular therapy is considered for refractory cases. A 42-year-old woman presented with a progressive disturbance in consciousness, and diagnosed CVST in the straight sinus (SS). Recanalization of SS was achieved by emergent thrombectomy using aspiration catheter and stent-retriever system, and her level of consciousness improved immediately. The combined use of them aided the removal of the thrombus located in the SS.
