title: Bilateral cavernous sinus and superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis in the setting of facial cellulitis.
abstract: Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a rare, potentially fatal cause of cerebral venous thrombosis. Infectious causes typically arise from the mid face, orbit, or sinonasal region. We present a case of bilateral cavernous sinus and superior ophthalmic thrombosis secondary to an extreme case of facial cellulitis.
