Summary: Septic cavernous sinus thrombosis is very rare and has only a few published cases. If this pathology is not taken into account, its exploration may be mistaken for an orbital cellulitis and lead to a delay in the initiation of appropriate treatment. The possible morbidity and mortality of cavernous sinus thrombosis is very high, being able to trigger in blindness, hemiparesis or even hypophyseal insufficiency. We present the case of a woman who went to the Emergency Department for presenting headache and fever, and was finally diagnosed with a bilateral cavernous sinus thrombosis due to sphenoid sinusitis, whose agile handling avoided the possible complications that may appear in this entity.

Si no se tiene en mente esta patología, su exploración puede confundirse de forma errónea con una celulitis orbitaria y dar lugar a un retraso en el inicio del tratamiento adecuado. La posible morbimortalidad de la trombosis de senos cavernosos es muy elevada, pudiendo desencadenar en ceguera, hemiparesia o incluso insuficiencia hipofisaria. Se presenta el caso de una mujer que acudió al Servicio de Urgencias por cefalea y fiebre, y fue finalmente diagnosticada de una trombosis de senos cavernosos  ilateraldebido a una sinusitis esfenoidal, cuyo ágil manejo evitó las posibles complicaciones que pueden aparecer en esta entidad.Sociedade Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço2020-03-10info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersioninfo:eu-repo/semantics/articleapplication/pdfhttps://doi.org/10.34631/sporl.756https://doi.org/10.34631/sporl.756Portuguese Journal of Otorhinolaryngology and Head and Neck Surgery; Vol. 57 No. 2 (2019): June; 79-83Revista Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço; Vol. 57 Núm. 2 (2019): Junho; 79-83Revista Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia-Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoço; Vol. 57 N.º 2 (2019): Junho; 79-832184-6499reponame:Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP)instname:FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiainstacron:RCAAPspahttps://journalsporl.com/index.php/sporl/article/view/2946https://journalsporl.com/index.php/sporl/article/view/2946/966Direitos de Autor (c) 2020 Revista Portuguesa de Otorrinolaringologia e Cirurgia de Cabeça e Pescoçoinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessRuano de Pablo, LauraMenéndez Colino, Luis MiguelPadilla Parrado, ManuelCaro García, Manuel Ángel2024-06-06T13:00:57Zoai:journalsporl.com:article/2946Portal AgregadorONGhttps://www.rcaap.pt/oai/openaireinfo@rcaap.ptopendoar:https://opendoar.ac.uk/repository/71602025-05-28T17:54:33.531717Repositórios Científicos de Acesso Aberto de Portugal (RCAAP) - FCCN, serviços digitais da FCT – Fundação para a Ciência e a Tecnologiafalse
