Otogenic lateral sinus Thrombosis: a rare complication of chronic Otitis media
Journal Title: Heighpubs Otolaryngology and Rhinology - Year 2017, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Since the advent of antibiotics, lateral sinus thrombosis is an infrequent complication of otitis media. Lateral sinus thrombosis may occur by thrombophlebitis or penetration by offending pathogens through the dura of middle and posterior cranial fossae. We present a case of right-sided sigmoid and transverse venous sinus thrombosis as a rare complication of chronic suppurative otitis media in an adult. We discuss the patient’s imaging, management and relevant literature to offer clinical recommendations.
