We report a case of septic thrombosis of the cavernous sinus and dental infection, and highlight the clinical features to enable prompt diagnosis and management.

This paper reports a case of septic cavernous sinus thrombosis following a chronic ear infection and paranasal sinusitis. The diagnosis and management of this condition are discussed.

Background: Septic sinus thrombosis is an uncommon clinical syndrome that can cause high morbidity and mortality. We report a case with septic thrombosis of the sigmoid sinus caused by otitis media. Case Report: A 58-year-old male presented with a 12-day history of headache. Cerebrospinal fluid (CSF) analysis showed elevated white cells (1020/uL, polymorphonuclear cells-89%), decreased CSF gluc...

We describe a patient who developed bilateral cavernous sinus septic thrombosis secondary to a suppurative lesion on the left cheek. Despite clinical improvement, left oculomotor symptoms recurred suddenly. A carotid artery aneurysm within the cavernous sinus was diagnosed by means of magnetic resonance imaging and confirmed by digital angiography. Follow-up angiograms showed an initial decreas...

Presented is a case of cavernous sinus thrombosis in a young female with fatal outcome. There were not any septic focus, no history of head trauma, no relation with pregnancy. Computed tomography scan of brain showed chronic subdural hematoma. An attempt is made to correlate the aetiopathology with the clinical features of this rare case presentation.

Lemierre syndrome (LS) typically consists of a septic thrombophlebitis of the internal jugular vein caused by Fusobacterium necrophorum. We present an unusual variant of LS with cavernous sinus thrombosis and occlusion of the ipsilateral internal carotid artery secondary to sphenoid sinusitis caused by Streptococcus viridans.
