Lateral sinus thrombosis is a rare complication of acute otitis media and mastoiditis. Prompt treatment led to complete recovery, highlighting the need for vigilance in diagnosing such neurotologic issues.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Acute otitis media and mastoiditis can lead to rare but serious neurotologic complications.
  • Lateral sinus thrombosis is a significant intracranial complication that requires prompt recognition and management.

Observation:

  • A case of lateral sinus thrombosis following acute otitis media and mastoiditis is presented.
  • The patient exhibited symptoms including otorrhoea, otalgia, neck pain, fever, and chills.

Findings:

  • Surgical intervention (cortical mastoidectomy) combined with intravenous antibiotics and heparin therapy was administered.
  • The patient achieved a complete recovery without any lasting sequelae.

Implications:
