  https://emedicine.medscape.com/article/791704-clinical

  The early signs and symptoms of cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) may not be specific. A patient who presents with headache and any cranial nerve findings should be potentially evaluated for CST. […] The clinical presentation is usually due to the venous obstruction as well as impairment of the cranial nerves that are near the cavernous sinus. […] Headache is the most common presentation symptom and usually precedes fevers, periorbital edema, and cranial nerve signs. The headache is usually sharp, increases progressively, and is usually localized to the regions innervated by the ophthalmic and maxillary branches of the fifth cranial nerve. […] As the infection tracts posteriorly, patients complain of orbital pain and fullness accompanied by periorbital edema and visual disturbances. […] Without effective therapy, signs appear in the contralateral eye by spreading through the communicating veins to the contralateral cavernous sinus. Eye swelling begins as a unilateral process and spreads to the other eye within 24-48 hours via the intercavernous sinuses. This is pathognomonic for CST.

  Cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST), the presence of thrombus in the cavernous sinus, is a rare condition, most commonly infectious in nature, and the diagnosis on imaging is not always straightforward. It has high mortality and morbidity rates. […] A headache is the most common symptom (85%). Focal neurological signs and/or seizures may also occur. Isolated CN III palsy is thought to be an early manifestation. […] Cavernous sinus thrombosis from a septic etiology occurs due to embolization of bacteria which trigger thrombosis that becomes trapped within the cavernous sinus. The subsequent reduction in venous drainage results in facial and periorbital edema, ptosis, proptosis, chemosis, painful eye movements, papilledema, retinal venous distension and loss of vision. […] Primary consideration for the management of cavernous sinus thrombosis is the use of antimicrobials and antithrombotic agents. The mortality rate is up to 30%. Significant morbidity (e.g. blindness, cranial nerve palsy) in survivors not uncommon.

  CST can present acutely or sub-acutely. Most patients will have fever, headache, proptosis, periorbital edema and/or chemosis. Most will also have external ophthalmoplegia, due to venous congestion of orbital tissues, extra-ocular muscle inflammation and/or inflammation of cranial nerves III, IV and VI (1,5,6,12). Other symptoms include eyelid erythema, autonomic dysfunction, sensory changes in the ophthalmic and maxillary trigeminal nerve distributions, pupillary abnormalities, and papilledema (1, 3, 4, 6). Vision loss is rare as the orbital nerve lies outside the cavernous sinus but it can occur via other mechanisms such as occlusion of the ICA, ophthalmic or central retinal arteries, orbital congestion, or arteritis (1,13). CST commonly spreads from one eye to both within 24 to 48 hours (4,6).

  Cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) is a thrombus formation within the cavernous sinus, which may be either septic or aseptic in origin. […] In the acute presentation, one eye is typically affected first, followed by the second eye within 48 hours of symptom onset.

  https://my.clevelandclinic.org/health/diseases/23520-cavernous-sinus-thrombosis

  Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a rare blood clot that can form in response to an infection in your face or head. Its fatal in about 1 in 3 cases. Early symptoms include a severe headache, followed by swelling or bulging in one or both eyes. This condition requires immediate treatment. […] Cavernous sinus thrombosis can cause long-term damage to your brain, eyes and nerves. Without prompt treatment, it may result in death. […] One of the earliest symptoms of cavernous sinus thrombosis is a severe headache that gets worse even with pain medicine. The pain may feel sharp immediately or worsen over several days. The pain may feel especially pronounced around or behind one or both eyes. […] Symptoms are related to pressure build-up in your cavernous sinuses and can worsen rapidly. Signs to look for include: Severe, sharp headache. Bulging or swelling around one and then both eyes. Droopy eyelids. Pain when you try to move one or both eyes. Inability to move one or both eyes. Blurred vision. Seeing double. Facial numbness. Fever. Seizures.

  There may be associated features of intracranial pressure elevation: Vision changes, diplopia. Nausea, vomiting. Papilledema (30%). Cranial nerve 6 palsy (inability to abduct the eye). Encephalopathy. […] Hemiparesis is the most frequent (37% of patients). […] Seizures occur in 10-40% of all patients with CVT. […] Risk factors for seizure include: Supratentorial lesions with involvement of the cortex. Focal edema or infarcts (ischemic/hemorrhagic). Focal neurological deficits (eg., focal sensory deficits). […] Impaired drainage of CSF into the venous sinuses may lead to communicating hydrocephalus and thereby cause elevated intracranial pressure. […] Mortality is ~5%. Risk of permanent disability or death is ~15-20%. […] The most important factors appear to be: Coma or mental status disturbance. Thrombosis of the deep venous system. Intracerebral hemorrhage (i.e., hemorrhagic venous transformation).

  CST can present acutely or sub-acutely. Most patients will have fever, headache, proptosis, periorbital edema and/or chemosis. Most will also have external ophthalmoplegia, due to venous congestion of orbital tissues, extra-ocular muscle inflammation and/or inflammation of cranial nerves III, IV and VI (1,5,6,12). Other symptoms include eyelid erythema, autonomic dysfunction, sensory changes in the ophthalmic and maxillary trigeminal nerve distributions, pupillary abnormalities, and papilledema (1, 3, 4, 6). Vision loss is rare as the orbital nerve lies outside the cavernous sinus but it can occur via other mechanisms such as occlusion of the ICA, ophthalmic or central retinal arteries, orbital congestion, or arteritis (1,13). CST commonly spreads from one eye to both within 24 to 48 hours (4,6).

She was found to have a cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST), which most likely contributed to her presentation. […] Ms C was placed on a heparin drip, and intravenous (IV) lorazepam was administered (initially at 0.5 mg 3 times daily and then increased up to 1.75 mg 3 times daily) for agitation and a presumptive diagnosis of catatonia. Over the next 2 weeks, her condition continued to deteriorate. She stopped eating and was unable to swallow pills; this required placement of a nasogastric tube. […] Since several suspected causes of her presentation had been ruled out after a month-long hospital stay, the remaining most plausible diagnosis was of secondary catatonia associated with a subacute hemorrhagic stroke and CVST.

  While the underlying CVST and hemorrhagic stroke that likely contributed to Ms Cs catatonia were being addressed by heparin, methylprednisolone, and consideration of IVIG and plasmapheresis, the treatment team also attempted to alleviate her catatonic symptoms. […] An additional MRI scan obtained 2 weeks before discharge failed to demonstrate a significant resolution of the thrombus. Remarkably, 1 day prior to her hospital discharge Ms C became more responsive and was able to interact and answer questions. At discharge, she was oriented to self, but she still required reorientation to location, time, and situation with no apparent memory of the previous events. […] Ms C presented with CVST and catatonia but without systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) or a recognizable autoimmune encephalitis. This is an infrequently reported combination, and it is not a widely reported potential neuro-medical cause of catatonia. […] If a secondary (nonpsychiatric) etiology of catatonia is suspected, a neuro-medical workup (including head imaging) is typically warranted, and depending on the clinical suspicion, we suggest ruling out CVST.

[…] CT Brain at the time of admission showed swollen left cavernous sinus, convexity of the lateral wall, asymmetry, and exophthalmos. […] Initially, non-contrast CT was done on the patient and the findings revealed evidence of hyperdense left cavernous sinus. Evidence of soft tissue mucosal thickening was noted in the sphenoid sinus and mild atrophy of the parasagittal, parietal and occipital lobes of the left cerebral hemisphere, likely due to cavernous sinus thrombosis. […] The patient received empiric antibiotics and anticoagulants immediately after CT confirmation of CST.
