Abstract
Current therapy for dural sinus thrombosis consists of supportive measures, anticoagulation therapy, and in some cases intravenous infusion of a fibrinolytic agent. A patient with extensive dural sinus thrombosis was successfully treated with local urokinase infusion. The technique and rationale for this aggressive therapy are discussed.Keywords
