Figure 5-5. — Algorithm for the management of cerebral venous thrombosis.

CVT = cerebral venous thrombosis; MRI = magnetic resonance imaging; MRV = magnetic resonance venography; CTV = computed tomography venography; ICH = intracerebral hemorrhage.

^a Anticoagulation remains the principal therapy and is aimed at preventing thrombus propagation and increasing recanalization. This algorithm is not comprehensive, nor is it applicable to all clinical scenarios; patient management must be individualized.

^b Limited evidence is available on the benefits of decompressive hemicraniectomy and endovascular therapy for the management of cerebral venous thrombosis. Modified from Saposnik G, et al, Stroke.7 © 2011 American Heart Association, Inc. stroke.ahajournals.org/content/42/4/1158.long.
