Abstract
Background: The combination of straight sinus and large cerebral vein thrombosis is a rare form of cerebral vein thrombosis. The pathogenesis of cerebral venous thrombosis has not been fully elucidated, but pregnancy or the oral contraceptives are significant risk factors for this condition.
Case description: In this study, we report the case of a 31-year-old woman who experienced a sudden onset headache with vomiting. Intraoperative cerebral angiography confirmed straight sinus combined cerebral large vein thrombosis. The patient was revascularized using endovascular therapy through contact thrombolysis.
Conclusion: The microcatheter contact thrombolysis of rectus with cerebral venous thrombosis is effective and safe.

Keywords: Straight sinus; large cerebral veins; venous sinus thrombosis; endovascular therapy; contact thrombolysis.
