Abstract
Intravenous heparin infusion has been the mainstay of treatment for cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST). Surgical and neuroradiological treatment was once an uncommon occurrence. Recent trends, however, have been to employ endovascular or surgical intervention strategies in carefully selected cases and the combined use of these modalities is on the rise. These strategies include endovascular thrombolysis, mechanical thrombectomy to remove the clot and operative neurosurgery to treat raised intracranial pressure. We review the literature and present an update on current treatment strategies.
