    Area of Science:

    • Neurosurgery
    • Infectious Diseases
    • Plastic Surgery

    Background:

    • Septic thrombosis of the cavernous sinuses is a rare but life-threatening condition.
    • Rhinoplasty, a common cosmetic procedure, carries potential infectious risks.
    • Subdural empyema represents a serious intracranial complication of infections.

    Observation:

    • This report details a rare case of septic cavernous sinus thrombosis.
    • The condition was complicated by the development of a subdural empyema.
    • The precipitating event was a rhinoplasty procedure.

    Findings:

    • The patient presented with symptoms indicative of both cavernous sinus thrombosis and subdural empyema.
    • Diagnostic imaging confirmed the presence of septic thrombosis and empyema.

  • Causative microorganisms were identified, guiding antimicrobial therapy.

    • Implications:

    • This case underscores the importance of vigilant monitoring for infectious complications post-rhinoplasty.
    • Early recognition and aggressive management of septic cavernous sinus thrombosis are crucial.
    • Prompt treatment of associated subdural empyema is vital for patient outcomes.
