ABSTRACT

Each cavernous sinus is located at the base of the skull and superolaterally to the sphenoid sinus, the walls of which are composed of thin bone and may be partially incomplete. Septic thrombosis of the cavernous sinus most commonly follows infections of the middle third of the face. Other antecedent infections include paranasal (usually sphenoid) sinusitis, dental abscess and, less often, otitis media. The authors experienced 3 cases of cavernous sinus thrombosis followed by chronic sinusitis, petrous apicitis and Wegener’s granulomatosis, thereupon the authors report these cases and review the literatures about them.
