Cavernous Sinus-Orbital Vein Thrombosis due to Infection and Thrombophilia

Abstract

We present a patient with cavernous sinus-orbital vein thrombosis while highlighting the causes, risk factors and diagnostic modalities. The onset was acute while she was in labor. She was off of anticoagulation, had history of deep vein thrombosis and recent sinus infection which were thought to be the etiological factors.
