Decompressive craniectomy in cerebral venous sinus thrombosis during pregnancy: a case report.

Decompressive craniectomy is reserved only for emergency settings. We present a 22-year-old pregnant lady, who was transferred at the emergency department with a reduced level of consciousness, headache, and nuchal rigidity.
