Successful treatment of a massive sinus thrombosis in a Chinese woman with antithrombin III deficiency: a case report and review of the literature

We presented a 31-year-old Chinese woman patient who had a family history of AT III deficiency admitted to our hospital. She had a history of pulmonary embolism. She took rivaroxaban for a long time to prevent thrombosis. After giving birth, she stopped taking the medication for half a year and suffered from drug withdrawal symptoms. Four months after drug withdrawal, she suddenly fell into a coma. After diagnosis, it was found to be caused by a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Finally, she was diagnosed with sagittal and transverse sinus thrombosis. After treatment with mechanical thrombectomy, she fully recovered. In sum, we concluded that mechanical thrombectomy was efficient for AT III deficiency and treating thrombosis.
