Abstract:
The incidence of lateral sinus vein thrombosis has been reduced by the use of antibiotics, but it is still a major complication of middle ear disease. Patients without active acute or chronic middle ear infection, however, develop this deadly complication. CT scan is helpful in diagnosis, but mostly the final diagnosis is made by surgical exploration. A case of a 23-year-old patient who developed lateral sinus vein thrombosis without an active middle ear disease is presented. The pertinent literature is discussed.

01:11Overview of Systemic Veins
The coronary sinus, the heart's principal vein, resides in the coronary sulcus on the heart's posterior aspect. This broad venous channel receives nearly all venous blood from the myocardium, the heart muscle. It is fed by three primary veins: the great cardiac vein, the middle...

The first lymph sacs to form are the paired jugular lymph sacs located at the junction of the internal jugular and subclavian veins. From these sacs, lymphatic capillary plexuses extend to the thorax, upper limbs, neck, and head, eventually forming lymphatic vessels. Each jugular lymph sac maintains a...
