The Right

✓ The clinical course of three patients who had combined sagittal and lateral sinus dural fistulae is described. One patient, with impending blindness and a short life span, underwent right lateral sinus thrombosis in one stage. The second patient underwent sagittal and right lateral sinus thrombosis in four stages, and her remaining lateral sinus spontaneously occluded. A small untreated fistula persists in the right lower sigmoid. The third patient underwent sagittal sinus, left lateral sinus, and left parietal sinus thrombosis in six stages. A small untreated far-anterior fistula persists. All “satellite” fistulae have spontaneously disappeared. The small asymptomatic untreated residual fistulae have no demonstrable retrograde venous drainage and, therefore, require no treatment at this time.

AbstractThe incidence of both lateral and cavernous sinus thrombophlebitis has been significantly reduced in the antibiotic era. Since septic cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) is mainly a complication of facial abscesses and septic lateral sinus thrombosis (LST) is almost invariably due to chronic otitis media, both conditions are of clinical relevance to the otolaryngologist.The predominant bacterium in septic CST isStaphylococcus aureuswhereas in septic LST the bacteriology is very similar to that found in chronic otitis media. The diagnosis of septic CST can be established in most cases after thorough clinical examination, and contrast computerized tomography (CT) using the coronal projection usually confirms the clinical diagnosis. The signs and clinical course of septic LST are non-specific and the final diagnosis rests upon radiological investigations including CT-scan. The treatment of both conditions consists of broad-spectrum antibiotics, including beta-lactamase resistant penicillin in cases of septic CST. Most cases of septic LST also require surgical intervention.Two cases oi septic intracranial sinus tiuombosis ate presented. The need for early diagnosis and treatment of this potentially lethal condition is emphasized.

AbstractIn spite of the increasing use of more efficient medical therapy, different types of otogenic intracranial complications continue to occur.A detailed description of two cases of lateral sinus thrombosis illustrates that its present-day clinical course can differ from the traditional clinical picture of the disease.

Congenital Aural Atresia

The following is a case report of an adolescent with mental retardation who had congenital aural atresia with contralateral congenital facial palsy. She developed multiple intracranial complications (cerebellar abscess and lateral sinus thrombosis) due to cholesteatoma. We managed her in a multidisciplinary approach. This report discusses case management, emphasising the meticulous intraoperative steps taken in identifying the landmarks and precautions adopted to avoid postoperative facial palsy and other complications.
