BACKGROUND The cavernous sinus communicates with several para-cavernous sinus venous structures, receiving blood flow from the superficial middle cerebral vein (SMCV), the sphenoparietal sinus (SPS), and the superior ophthalmic vein, and draining into the superior and inferior petrosal sinuses and pterygoid and basilar plexuses. Anatomic variations of these veins have been previously reported; ...

BACKGROUND Orbital subperiosteal abscess (SPA) describes a process in which a collection of pus forms between the bony orbit and the periorbita. SPA most commonly arises as a complication of acute sinusitis, where it exists along a spectrum of orbital involvement from limited (preseptal cellulitis) to severe (cavernous sinus thrombosis). The surgical management of SPA in children has evolved fr...

Group C Streptococcus (GCS) is a rare cause of bacteremia in humans. It is mostly associated with zoonological infections. Although GCS can be part of the normal oral, skin, and genitourinary fora, an infection with this pathogen can be highly virulent, causing rapid, disseminating disease. With a mortality of about 25%, the poor prognosis is linked to the severity of illness and the high level...

Cavernous sinus angioleiomyoma (ALM) is extremely rare. Only three cases have been reported to be cavernous sinus ALM, and very few reports described characteristic findings for intracranial ALMs in detail. We report a new case of cavernous sinus ALM, with detailed information on the clinical presentation, radiology, pathology, and surgical approach. A 52-year-old woman had a 6-month history of...

Design We report the case of an incidental pituitary mass discovered in the context of bilateral cavernous sinus thrombosis due to a bacterial pansinusitis. Conclusions Magnetic resonance imaging features of the pituitary lesion, together with transient central hypogonadism and total regression of the mass after anticoagulation and antimicrobial therapy, suggest that this lesion is a pituitary ...

Odontogenic infections are common and very often spread to potential spaces of head neck. The such infection adjacent maxillary sinuses or distant sites as the orbits a rare occurrence may develop periorbital orbital cellulitis. Unfortunately once cellulitis subsequently abscess develops it can give rise serious complications complete blindness even more life-threatening situations cavernous si...
