RESUMO
BACKGROUND: Cerebral Venous Sinus Thrombosis (CVST) is a rare but potentially life-threatening condition, often associated with specific risk factors. The primary treatment for CVST is anticoagulation, but some cases progress to Refractory CVST (rCVST), requiring endovascular treatment. A combination of stent retriever and catheter aspiration is emerging as a promising technique to enhance treatment effectiveness. We conducted a systematic review and meta-analysis to assess the safety and efficacy of this approach, aiming to improve recanalization success and neurological outcomes while reducing complications in rCVST patients. METHODS: A search following PRISMA guidelines was conducted across Pubmed, Embase, Web of Science, and Cochrane databases to identify studies on the use of stent retrievers and catheter aspiration for rCVST. Pooled analysis with 95 % confidence intervals was used to assess the effects. Heterogeneity was evaluated using I2 statistics and a random-effects model was used. Complete recanalization. good clinical outcomes (mRS ≤ 2), hemorrhagic, neurological, ischemic, and total complications, poor clinical outcomes (mRS > 2), and mortality were assessed. RESULTS: A meta-analysis of five retrospective studies involving 55 patients examined outcomes in CVST. The median mean age was 40 years. Complete recanalization rate: 36 % (95 % CI: 9 % to 62 %, I2 = 90 %). Good clinical outcomes: 72 % (95 % CI: 50 % to 94 %, I2 = 76 %). Hemorrhagic complications: 2 % (95 % CI: 0 % to 8 %, I2 = 15 %). Ischemic complications: 0 % (95 % CI: 0 % to 6 %, I2 = 0 %). Neurological complications: 7 % (95 % CI: 0 % to 14 %, I2 = 0 %). Poor clinical outcomes: 26 % (95 % CI: 6 % to 46 %, I2 = 70 %). Total complications: 6 % (95 % CI: 0 % to 15 %, I2 = 10 %). Mortality rate: 5 % (95 % CI: 0 % to 13 %, I2 = 19 %). CONCLUSION: This systematic review and meta-analysis scrutinized the efficacy of combining Stent Retriever and Catheter Aspiration for rCVST. Findings highlighted varied outcomes, including recanalization rates, complications, and mortality. The dichotomy between good and poor outcomes underscores the necessity for personalized therapeutic decisions. While offering a comprehensive overview, the study emphasizes literature heterogeneity, suggesting a need for more rigorous and standardized research to optimize therapeutic strategies in clinical practice.

PURPOSE: Cerebral sinovenous thrombosis is an increasingly recognized cause of stroke in children and neonates. Its true incidence appears to be underestimated. Despite being a rare event, certain studies have found a correlation between subdural hemorrhage and cerebral sinus thrombosis. The literature suggests that spontaneous cerebral sinovenous thrombosis in the pediatric population may lead to the occurrence of a subdural hemorrhage. In this report, we present a case of cerebral venous thrombosis associated with chronic subdural hematoma and review the literature to highlight the importance of these conditions. CASE REPORT: An 11-year-old boy was admitted in the neurosurgery department with headache and a neurological examination without changes. The imaging studies identified a heterogeneous subdural collection in the fronto-temporo-parietal region. The patient underwent surgical drainage of the subdural hematoma, and the procedure was performed without complications. The magnetic resonance and angiography showed an extensive thrombosis of the superior sagittal sinus, extending downward to the occipital sinus and partially to the right transverse sinus. CONCLUSIONS: Appropriate management in the diagnosis and an early treatment of dural sinus thrombosis associated with subdural hemorrhage can reduce the risk of recurrence and improve the clinical outcome.

La hemorragia subaracnoidea (HSA) usualmente sugiere la presencia de una lesión vascular, tal como ruptura de un aneurisma o sangrado de una malformación arteriovenosa. El hallazgo de una HSA se considera una urgencia neuroquirúrgica y se debe tratar con mucha delicadeza. La HSA puede ser secundaria a otras causas, y por tal razón se debe estar pendiente de los examenes a realizar para conocer la causa de esta. Otra causa poco frecuente de HSA e la Trombosis de Senos Venosos (TSV). La TSV es difícil de diagnosticar y se complica aún más su diagnóstico cuando se presenta con HSA. El objetivo de este artículo es la presentación de un caso de trombosis de seno venoso y revisar la literatura al respecto.
Subarachnoid Hemorrhage (SAH) usually suggests the presence of a vascular lesion as a ruptured aneurism or a bleeding from an arterial-venous malformation. The finding of a SAH is considered a neurosurgical emergency and it should be treated as that. SAH can also be caused by other etiologies and for this reason the cause of this finding should be investigated. Cerebral Sinus Thrombosis is one rare cause of SAH. Cerebral Sinus Thrombosis is usually difficult to diagnose and the presence of a SAH increases the difficulty of diagnosing this entity. The objective of this article is to present a case report and to review the literature with respect to this case.

We conducted a prospective study of 24 patients to evaluate the evolution of intracranial complications resulting from otogenic infection and to correlate the course of the disease with surgical treatment. Almost half of the patients were younger than 18 years, and most were male. The most common intracranial complication was brain abscess, followed by meningitis, lateral sinus thrombosis, and extradural abscess. Cholesteatoma was found in 14 patients. After the complications were confirmed by computed tomography, initial treatment consisted of intravenous systemic antibiotics followed by mastoid surgery. The surgical approach was determined by the type of ear disease, not by the type of neurologic complication. Modified radical mastoidectomy was performed in 16 patients, tympanomastoidectomy in 6, and myringotomy in 2. No significant morbidity, mortality, recurrence, or residual neurologic deficit was observed at the 6-month follow-up. Early surgical intervention is important in achieving positive outcomes in patients with such intracranial complications.

To call attention to complications of chronic otitis media, the case of a patient who simultaneously developed lateral sinus thrombosis and Bezold's abscess is reported. A 7 year old boy presented with fever, drowsiness, cervical mass and otorrhea not responding to medical management. Work-up revealed lateral sinus thrombosis and cervical abscess secondary to right ear cholesteatoma. After treatment with surgery and antibiotics, he had a favorable outcome. We review the literature regarding the diagnosis and management of these complications and concluded that although less frequent they remain a clinical challenge.
