Successful Treatment of Cerebral Venous Thrombosis Associated with Bilateral Internal Jugular Vein Stenosis Using Direct Thrombolysis and Stenting: A Case Report

Abstract

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) is not uncommon, but CVT associated with bilateral internal jugular vein stenosis (BIJVS) is rare. Bilateral internal jugular vein stenting is also a rare procedure. We report on a patient with CVT associated with BIJVS, who was treated successfully using direct thrombolysis and bilateral internal jugular vein stenting.
