  • Case Report Necrotizing Fasciitis of the Nose Complicated with Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis
    2016
    Co-Authors: D. Swaminath, R. Narayanan, Menfil Orellana-barrios, B. Temple
    Abstract:

    Copyright © 2014 D. Swaminath et al. This is an open access article distributed under the Creative Commons Attribution License, which permits unrestricted use, distribution, and reproduction in any medium, provided the original work is properly cited. Necrotizing fasciitis is a rapidly progressive life threatening bacterial infection of the skin, the subcutaneous tissue, and the fascia.We present a case of necrotizing fasciitis involving the nose complicated by Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis. Few cases of septic Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis have been reported to be caused by cellulitis of the face but necrotizing fasciitis of the nose is rare. It is very important to recognize the early signs of Cavernous Thrombosis. Treatment for septic Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis is controversial but early use of empirical antibiotics is imperative. 1

  • Ocular neuromyotonia in a patient with Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis secondary to mucormycosis.
    American journal of ophthalmology, 1997
    Co-Authors: Andrew R. Harrison, Jonathan D. Wirtschafter
    Abstract:

    Purpose To report a case of ocular neuromyotonia occurring after Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis secondary to mucormycosis. Methods Case report. We performed serial comprehensive neuro-ophthalmologic examinations. Results Fifteen months after initial total ophthalmoplegia of the right eye and complete right upper eyelid ptosis, isolated ocular neuromyotonia, characterized by episodic upward jerking movements of the right upper eyelid, was noted. Conclusion Ocular neuromyotonia, which usually manifests in patients with a history of intracranial tumors and cranial radiation, may also be secondary to infectious Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis.

  • A case of Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis complicating orbital cellulitis
    Kerala Journal of Ophthalmology, 2016
    Co-Authors: Jk Ann, Ani Sreedhar, Meenu C Jacob
    Abstract:

    A 47-year-old patient with a swelling of the left upper eyelid, redness, proptosis, and defective vision of few days duration was seen in our clinic. The history, examination, and investigations were suggestive of Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis complicating orbital cellulitis. The patient was admitted and treated by a team of specialists including ophthalmology, neurosurgery, and hematology. Patient recovered fully after 3 weeks of treatment. This case report is being presented to highlight the importance of careful clinical examination and high index of suspicion in recognizing such a serious complication.
