Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis – a Rare, Life-Threatening Clot in the Venous Sinus at the Skull Base

Nurseslab.in with Advanced Practice: Physician Assistant, Nurse Practitioner, Clinical Nurse Specialist, CRNA, Midwife shared a post on LinkedIn:

“Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis – a rare, life-threatening clot in the venous sinus at the skull base, often from facial/sinus infections.
Red flags: severe headache, fever, periorbital swelling/pain, ophthalmoplegia, vision changes, cranial nerve palsies.

Nursing Focus:

  • Rapid escalation; anticipate IV broad-spectrum antibiotics
  • Monitor neuro/ocular status, vitals, and sepsis markers
  • Manage pain, protect airway if deteriorating, strict infection control
  • Educate on early care-seeking for worsening sinus/eye symptoms

Fast recognition = vision saved, life saved.”
