Özet

Intracranial venous thrombosis is rarely seen prior to delivery. We present our anesthetic management of a term parturient with an acute onset severe superior sagittal sinus thrombosis urgently referred to us. General anesthesia was performed in order to avoid potential increased risk of morbidity after spinal anesthesia in this particular parturient. © Acta Anæsthesiologica Belgica, 2009.
