“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

Fast recognition = vision saved, life saved.”
