Objective: Complications of mechanical thrombectomy (MT) should be identified and managed because they often worsen clinical outcomes. Here we present a case of post-MT embolization of the artery supplying the oculomotor nerve, which has not previously been reported as a complication of MT.
Case Presentation: An 81-year-old woman visited our hospital within 2 hours of the sudden onset of left hemiparesis and impaired awareness.
Objective: A case of cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) during pregnancy effectively recanalized by endovascular mechanical thrombectomy with the combined use of an aspiration catheter and a stent retriever is reported.
Case Presentation: A 27-year-old woman at eight weeks' gestation developed sudden onset of right hemiparalysis and seizures and was referred to our hospital. Her National Institutes of Health Stroke Scale score on admission was 23.
