Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis in an 18-year-old woman: resolution following endovascular therapy – a case report
This case illustrates the potential severity and complexity of CVST in healthy young patients. It underscores the importance of prompt diagnosis and multidisciplinary management, including consideration of endovascular thrombectomy in refractory or complicated cases. Further research is needed to elucidate the underlying mechanisms and optimize treatment strategies, particularly in young patients without identifiable thrombophilic disorders.
