Overview

It is understood that the main cause of cavernous sinus thrombosis is bacterial infections. Septic cases of cavernous sinus thrombosis are usually caused by central facial infections, especially within the danger triangle of the face (from the corners of the mouth to the bridge of the nose). Common causes of cavernous sinus thrombosis may include: Staphylococcus aureus (two-thirds of cases) and Streptococcus species (approximately 20% of cases). Less common causes of cavernous sinus thrombosis include: Pneumococcus, Staphylococcus lugdunensis endocarditis, gram-negative species such as Proteus, hemophilus, Pseudomonas, Fusobacterium, Bacteroides, gram-positive species, Fungal infections, severe head injuries, autoimmune conditions such as lupus and Pregnancy. The main sources of infection in cavernous sinus thrombosis include: Mastoiditis, Otitis media, Abscess, cellulitis, Sinusitis, dental infections or procedures and endocarditis.
