Endovascular treatment of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in a thrombocytopenic patient with systemic lupus erythematosus and antiphospholipid syndrome: A CARE-compliant case report
This case highlights that endovascular thrombectomy (EVT) may be a rescue option for CVST in patients with triple-positive antiphospholipid syndrome and severe thrombocytopenia, once platelet counts are stabilized with immunosuppressive therapy. Prompt correction of thrombocytopenia can create a safe window for intervention, potentially avoiding neurological deterioration when anticoagulation alone is insufficient or is contraindicated.
