ABSTRACT
Venous thrombosis of transverse and sigmoid sinuses was diagnosed in a 3-year-old child who is a carrier of the G20210A prothrombin gene mutation. Recombinant tissue plasminogen activator (rt-PA) treatment was started 9 days following the onset of neurologic signs. Nine days of rt-PA therapy completely dissolved the thrombus. This case provides further evidence that rt-PA is useful and safe in children with thrombosis.
