[Thrombophlebitis of the sinus cavernosus].
A short survey of the relevant literature is followed by the description of the clinical course of a thrombophlebitis of the cavernous sinus. In this case, the initial focus was an infection of a canine which caused thrombophlebitis via the anterior facial vein. The healing must be attributed to the immediate application of broad spectrum antibiotics and removal of the primary focus.
