Although it is rarely seen now, lateral sinus thrombosis may occur in either its septic or aseptic form. Septic lateral sinus thrombosis is a potentially fatal condition in which early diagnosis may be difficult because of previous antibiotic therapy. Once diagnosis is made, combined antibiotic and surgical treatment is necessary. Aseptic lateral sinus thrombosis is a condition that is rarely fatal but that leads to symptoms of headache due to increased intracranial pressue. The decision to use medical treatment alone or to combine it with surgical treatment must depend on the clinical features of each case so we report each case of septic and aseptic otogenic lateral sinus thrombosis with review of literature.
