Zina Novaka, Douglas M. Coldwell,a and Kerry E. Bregaa

a From the Department of Radiology (Z.N., D.M.C.) and Neurosurgery (K.E.B.), Denver Health Medical Center, Denver, CO.

Summary: Acute cerebral sinus thrombosis caused a patient to decompensate rapidly and required immediate relief of her venous thrombosis as a life-saving procedure. The thrombus was laced with urokinase and removed from the sinuses with thrombectomy catheters. This reinstituted flow and she recovered full neurologic function within 4 hours.
