Abstract
|
|
|
Intracranial hypotension (IH) is characterized by postural headache, subdural effusion, cranial nerve palsy, and altered mental status. Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is a rare complication secondary to IH. Anticoagulation is currently the mainstay of treatment of CVT. However, mechanical thrombectomy (MT) may be needed for patients who develop progressive neurologic worsening despite adequate anticoagulation. Here, we report a case of CVT secondary to iatrogenic IH that was successfully treated using MT.
