Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis with cold agglutinin disease in summer: illustrative case
AIHA sometimes induces life-threatening thrombosis such as CVST. The dose of anticoagulant therapy should not be reduced for severe hemolytic anemia. The authors propose some tips for angiography to decrease the risk of thrombosis. Recently, new anticomplement therapies have been proven effective for CAD and the related hemolysis, suggesting the potential for decreasing thrombotic events. https://thejns.org/doi/10.3171/CASE24884.
