Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in pregnancy: A case report

Figure 1 Ultrasound and magnetic resonance imaging. A: Ultrasound shows a fetus at 8 wk of gestation (orange arrow); B: Pre-thrombectomy-diffusion weighted imaging shows restriction in the right temporal lobe (orange circle); C: Pre-thrombectomy susceptibility-weighted imaging shows a large area of low signal region in the right temporal lobe; D: Post-thrombectomy magnetic resonance imaging reveals new lesions in the right frontal lobe and left parietal lobe (orange arrows).

Figure 2 Operating process and outcome. A and B: Prethrombectomy angiogram confirms occlusion of superior longitudinal sinus, as well as right transverse sinus, and sinus sigmoideus (orange arrows); C and D: Mechanical thrombectomy was performed using two Solitaire stents (orange arrows); E and F: Post-thrombectomy angiogram shows resolution of flow in the superior longitudinal sinus, right transverse sinus and sinus sigmoideus (orange arrows); G: Gross appearance of the partial removed cerebral embolus; H: Microscopic appearance of the cerebral embolus specimen consistent with mixed thrombus.
