A member asked:
My father was diagnosed with cavernous sinus thrombosis. should i be worried for him?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Yes: Cavernous sinus thrombosis is often a complication of infection elsewhere in the head, sinuses or orbit of the eye. It can be extremely severe and life-threatening if not managed quickly and appropriately. It is an uncommon condition and one should be certain of the diagnosis since other conditions may mimic this.
