Causes
- It is understood that the main cause of cavernous sinus thrombosis is bacterial infections.[1][2]
- Staphylococcus aureus may account for two-thirds of cases of cavernous sinus thrombosis.
- Other typical organisms include:[1][2]
- Streptococcus species (approximately 20% of cases)
- Pneumococcus (5%)
- Gram-negative species such as Proteus
- Hemophilus
- Pseudomonas
- Fusobacterium
- Bacteroides
- Gram-positive species such as Corynebacterium and Actinomyces
- In cavernous sinus thrombosis, a blood clot develops in the sinus cavernous structure to prevent the infection from spreading to brain, but it often blocks the blood flow out of the brain.[2][1]
- Septic cases of cavernous sinus thrombosis are usually caused by central facial infections, especially within the danger triangle of the face (from the corners of the mouth to the bridge of the nose).[2][1]
- The main sources of infection include:[1]
- Mastoiditis[3]
- Otitis media[4]
- Abscess[5]
- Cellulitis[6]
- Sinusitis[7]
- Dental infections or procedures (even a posterior superior alveolar nerve block entering the pterygoid plexus)[8]
- The other rare causes of cavernous sinus thrombosis include:
- Fungal infections[9]
- Severe head injuries[10]
- Autoimmune conditions such as lupus[11]
- Pregnancy[12]
