Nonrandomized Comparison of Local Urokinase Thrombolysis Versus Systemic Heparin Anticoagulation for Superior Sagittal Sinus Thrombosis

Local thrombolysis with urokinase is fairly well tolerated and may be more effective than systemic heparin anticoagulation alone in treating SSST. A randomized, prospective study comparing these 2 treatments for SSST is warranted.
