| Popis: | Cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) usually produces a characteristic clinical syndrome. Septic CST represents a sporadic, but severe complication of infection of the cavernous sinuses, which can bring high mortality and morbidity rates if not treated right away. Case presentation: The current research is a case report of a 64-year-old woman with inherited thrombophilia who developed an acute mastoid infection that resulted in septic right CST. The clinical diagnosis was verified by laboratory studies and evidence from high-resolution computed tomography (HRCT), magnetic resonance imaging (MRI), and magnetic resonance angiography (MRA). Clinical medical care resulted in the patient being successfully treated with low-molecular-weight heparin and broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics, which avoided severe complications. |
