Abstract

Majör venöz sinüsler üzerindeki kırıkların tedavi şeması tartışmalıdır. Başına taş düşmesi sonrası başvurduğu başka bir merkezde superior sagittal sinüs üzerinde açık çökme kırığı saptanan ve ciltteki kesisi sütüre edilen olgu, dört gün sonra alt ekstremitede güçsüzlük ve artan baş ağrısı şikayetiyle merkezimize başvurdu. Kraniyal bilgisayarlı tomografisinde çökme fraktürü ve manyetik rezonans anjiografide superior sagittal sinüs oklüzyonu tespit edilen olgu opere edildi. Majör venöz sinüsler üzerindeki çökme kırıkları, intrakraniyal hipertansiyon ve nörolojik bulgular varlığında cerrahi olarak dekomprese edilmelidir.
