Síndrome de seno cavernoso

Abstract

Cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) is a rare, life-threatening disorder that can complicate facial infection. Early recognition of cavernous sinus thrombosis in patients with fever, headache, eye findings such as periorbital swelling and ophthalmoplegia is critical for good outcome. We present the case of a patient with cavernous sinus syndrome with contiguous meningitis.
