title: [Septic thrombosis of the cavernous sinus complicating malignant staphylococcal infection of the face].
abstract: Septic thrombosis of the cavernous sinuses most commonly follows staphylococcal infections of the middle third of the face. Orbital symptoms are constant. We report six cases diagnosed only by CT. At present, MR imaging is the diagnostic procedure of choice. Its findings are thought to reflect the septic nature of the thrombosis.
