Cavernous sinus thrombosis after facial trauma with fracture of the bones of the nose and orbit

Abstract

Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a rare and severe disease. Usually there are descriptions of sinusthrombosis as complications of purulent processes of the upper lip, accessory nasal cavities, orbit, odontogenic processes. The disease usually proceeds with a high temperature and a septic blood picture, although some authors describe cases of so-called "afebrile" sinustrombosis (A. A. Kantor, M. K. Elin). Sinusthrombosis is especially rare after trauma. For 23 years, O. S. Nikonova observed 90 cases of thrombosis of the cavernous sinus, and only one of them developed after injury.
