Cavernous sinus thrombosis - A case report

Cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) was first described by Bright in 1831 as a complication of epidural and subdural infections in adult. Incidence of cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) is very low, only a few hundred case reports so far in the medical literature. The majority of these available data are from before the modern antibiotic era. One of the English-language literature reviews found only 88 cases from 1940-1988.
