Abstract

A case of dural sinus thrombosis complicated with heparin induced thrombocytopenia and thrombosis (HITT) is presented. Interventional neuroradiologic procedures have potential risks of this devastating complication that is related with heparin. Clinical features and pathophysiologic mechanisms of HITT are discussed.
