Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis (SOVT) is a rare orbital pathology. It can cause serious complications if it isn't diagnosed appropriately. It can be secondary to many etiologies, septic or aseptic ones. Diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) may disturb the vascular endothelium and promote a prothrombotic state. The presence of which is related to a significantly increased risk of morbidity and mortality. We report the case of a 45-year-old woman who presented a SOVT revealing DKA. Orbit magnetic resonance imaging (MRI) showed thrombosis of the right superior ophthalmic vein. A treatment based on thrombolytic treatment, associated with antibiotic coverage and a glycemic balance was initiated. This case highlights the importance of considering both infection and diabetes as an important part of the diagnosis and management of SOVT. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR] |
