more
Cavernous sinus thrombosis is the formation of a blood clot within the cavernous sinus. One possible cause may be the spread of a dental infection in a tooth of the maxilla (upper jaw). In these cases, Staphylococcus aureus is the associated bacteria. It causes edema of the eyelids and the conjunctivae of the eyes and paralysis of the cranial nerves which course through the cavernous sinus. This infection is life-threatening and requires immediate treatment, which usually includes antibiotics and sometimes surgical drainage.
