“…Contemporary junior otorhinolaryngology trainees may be uncertain about diagnosing Lateral Sinus Thrombosis (LST) or unfamiliar with the management; as it is so infrequent they are unlikely to have participated in its management before [1,2]. We report a case of lateral sinus thrombosis and discuss investigations and management, summarised in an algorithm to guide readers.…”

“…It is now an unusual intracranial complication of otitis media, mastoiditis and cholesteatoma that accounts for 2-20% of intracranial complications of middle ear infections [1,4]. The contributing ear diseases have shifted over time from acute to chronic otitis media [4].…”

“…Lateral sinus thrombosis is characterised by pyrexia, with ear symptoms and signs such as otalgia, otorrhea, postauricular tenderness, and neurological symptoms and signs as headache, altered mental status and neck stiffness [1]. Nausea, vomiting, papilloedema, abducens nerve palsy, blurred vision and diplopia are reported from raised intracranial pressure, otherwise known as otitic hydrocephalus [1][2][3].…”

Otogenic cerebral sinovenous thrombosis is an intracranial complication secondary to otogenic disease; it is rare but could be a life‐threatening condition. Its management is always challenging. This study aimed to focus on clinical features, on diagnosis of this pathology and to review the most controversial aspect of management of otogenic cerebral sinovenous thrombosis. We reviewed retrospectively 10 inpatients treated with cerebral sinus thrombosis secondary to otitis between 1995 and 2020. Ten inpatients (eight males and two females) with ages ranging from 11 to 77 years were diagnosed with ontogenesis sinus thrombosis. The most commonly reported symptoms were headaches and otalgia. Five patients had mastoiditis, and 7 of the 10 patients had other concurrent complications: cerebellar abscess (three patients) and extradural empyema in two patients, retropharyngeal abscess in one patient, and meningitis in one patient. All patients were treated with broad‐spectrum antibiotherapy, anticoagulation was used to treat nine patients, and surgery was required in nine patients. Nine patients had satisfactory resolution of their symptoms, but one patient had sequel as permanent loss of visual acuity. Because of the inconspicuous clinical presentation, and the probability of a fatal evolution, suspicion is essential for a proper diagnosis and suitable treatment.
