title: Successful Endovascular Management of Massive Pansinus Thrombosis: Case Report and Review of Literature.
abstract: Cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) is a recognized cause of childhood and neonatal stroke. More than 50% of neonates have a poor outcome, and mortality is high. Coma is a predictor of death in neonatal CSVT. We present the case of a 9-day-old infant, who presented in coma and was treated successfully with a combination of mechanical thrombectomy using the MindFrame System via the right jugular vein, local infusion of recombinant tissue plasminogen activator and abciximab, as well as anticoagulation. In this case, aggressive thrombectomy and thrombolysis achieved complete neurologic restoration safely and quickly.
