Thrombosis of the Lateral Sinus: A Survey of Current Opinion and Records

William Howard Evans¹

Abstract: While thrombosis of the lateral sinus is the intracranial complication most frequently encountered after operations for mastoiditis, the number of cases observed by the average otologist is so small that he feels obliged to draw on the larger collective experience of his confr\l=e'\resin formulating criteria for the management of this serious condition.When he consults the literature, he finds many excellent reports of cases and the expression of a wide diversity of opinion regarding the efficacy of the surgic… Show more

For the year 1940 a large number of foreign journals are unavailable. On account of the chaotic military and political situation abroad, the foreign reports which are at hand appear meager and possess little of scientific import. The Swedish otolaryngologists provide an exception to this general observation. They seem unaffected by current happen¬ ings, and their reports and articles are well planned and worked out.A gratifying observation is the increase in the number of scientific contributions from Latin America. A hint as to how this newly awakened interest might be enhanced is contained in the Acta otolaryngologica, which gives extensive resumes of its original articles not only in English but also in Spanish and Portugese. The great American special journals would profit by following this excellent example. GENERAL CONSIDERATIONSIn 1927 Weiss 1 made his first study of the use of the von Schilling hemogram in otologie diagnosis, particularly in the diagnosis of mas¬ toiditis, and reported it in the American literature. At that time it was stressed that by this means no estimate of the severiy of an infecion could be established. Several studies have been made since then, all concerned with the value of the von Schilling hemogram in both the diagnosis and the prognosis of otitic infections.Couper 2 studied the use of the von Schilling hemogram in otitis media and mastoiditis in infants. He found that the count is valuable,

In this paper we are presenting a study of 70 patients with sepsis associated with infections of the upper respiratory tract : cervical adenitis, sinus thrombosis and inflammation of the accessory nasal sinuses.All of them had acute pharyngitis ; a small number had pharyngitis as the sole complication. We studied the effect these foci exercised on the course of the sepsis. We also considered the effect of sepsis on these complications of acute pharyngitis. The 70 patients were part of a series of 320 children with sepsis of all types.Blood culture studies were made for all patients with fever admitted to the pediatric wards between 1931 and 1935. The blood cultures were made according to standard methods by an intern assigned to the service. All the work was supervised by one person, insuring a good degree of uniformity in results throughout the years during which these cultures were made.Fourteen cubic centimeters of the patient's blood was drawn and poured into culture mediums at the bedside. Five cubic centimeters was injected into each of two 200 cc. Erlenmeyer flasks. The first flask contained 125 cc. of veal infusion broth at pa 7.2 ; the second flask contained 125 cc. of 2 per cent dextrose veal infusion broth of the same hydrogen ion concentration. The remaining 4 cc. of blood was divided equally to form two pour plates, one with a 2 per cent dextrose veal infusion agar and the other with a tube of plain veal infusion agar. Daily transplants were made from the two flasks, and smears were stained at the same time. Organisms were identified by cultural and serologie methods. Every grampositive coccus, except the staphylococcus, was subjected to the bile solubility test and to agglutination with the specific types of antipneumococcus serums. For gram-negative bacilli, the standard sugar reactions and serologie methods were used. SEPSIS AND CERVICAL ADENITISWe studied 57 patients with cervical adenitis. Twenty-four had positive blood cultures while 33 had sterile cultures. The 24 patients with positive cultures represented 7 per cent of a total of 320 patients with all types of sepsis. Patients included in this series had definite
