Lateral sinus thrombophlebitis (LST), an intracranial complication of otitis media, remains high mortality despite antibiotics. Early diagnosis via CT scan and aggressive surgical intervention are crucial for managing this severe condition.

Area of Science:

  • Otolaryngology
  • Neurology
  • Infectious Diseases

Background:

  • Lateral sinus thrombophlebitis (LST) is a rare but serious intracranial complication of otitis media.
  • While antibiotic therapy has reduced its incidence, mortality rates remain high.

Observation:

  • A 13-year-old girl presented with fever, ear discharge, and torticollis, indicative of LST.
  • Diagnosis was confirmed via clinical presentation and CT scan on admission.
  • Despite immediate surgery and antibiotics, the patient experienced protracted illness with recurrent septic pulmonary embolism.

Findings:

  • Aggressive surgical intervention and early diagnosis using CT scans are vital for LST management.
  • The role of internal jugular vein ligation is uncertain, and anticoagulant therapy may be beneficial.

  • MRI aids in detecting additional intracranial septic foci.

    • Implications:

    • Clinicians should maintain a high index of suspicion for LST in patients with otitis media symptoms.
    • Prompt and aggressive management, including surgical and medical therapies, is essential.
    • Further research is needed to clarify the efficacy of specific interventions like jugular vein ligation.
