Although it was medical refractory, successfully treated with mechanical thrombectomy using the Solitaire FR device. A 27-year-old man who presented with venous infarction accompanied by petechial hemorrhage secondary to the superior sagittal sinus (SSS) thrombosis. Due to rapid deterioration despite anticoagulation therapy, the patient was taken for endovascular treatment. Solitaire FR device (4×20 mm) was deployed in the anterior portion of the thrombosed SSS and it was left for ten minutes before the retraction. Thus, we removed a small amount of thrombus.
