title: [Sigmoid sinus thrombosis as a complication of otitis media].
abstract: Complications of otitis media are relatively infrequent, especially since the introduction of effective antimicrobial agents and specific surgical techniques. We present a case of cerebral pseudotumor due to left sigmoid sinus thrombosis as an intracranial complication of otitis media. We review the various clinical manifestations of sigmoid sinus thrombosis and its therapeutic options.
