Le résumé fourni par la source

Abstract Intracranial venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a special type of cerebrovascular disease characterized by obstruction of cerebral venous reflux, disturbance of cerebrospinal fluid absorption and intracranial hypertension,and it caused by a varietyof causes, accounting for about 0.5%-1% of all strokes . The morbidity of CVST is about 1.3 / 100000 , and the mortality rate is about 5% / 10% . It has various forms, different clinical manifestations and lacks of specificity, so it is easy to be missed and misdiagnosed, resulting in delayed treatment. The current recommended treatment is that patients without anticoagulation taboos should receive anticoagulation therapy as soon as possible , but recent advances in intravascular mechanical thrombectomy suggest that endovascular therapy can be used as an alternative treatment . In this paper, a case of intracranial venous sinus thrombosis was successfully treated by percutaneous intracranial venous thrombectomy with AngioJet system. The clinical symptoms and imaging manifestations were significantly improved after operation, and he was discharged from hospital on the 8th day.
