Abstract
Cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) is a rare, yet severe condition often linked to infections in the nasal and facial areas. We present a case of a 43-year-old male farmer with diabetes who initially showed ear abscess symptoms that progressed to vision loss and CST-like symptoms. Self-treatment and an unidentified medication regimen may have worsened his condition. Advanced diagnostic evaluations, particularly magnetic resonance imaging with magnetic resonance venography, confirmed CST, likely originating from the ear infection spreading to the eyes, causing bilateral orbital cellulitis. Treatment with antibiotics, anticoagulants, and supportive therapy stabilized the patient's condition. This case emphasizes the importance of early detection and intervention in CST, especially in atypical presentations, and the need for comprehensive diagnostic and therapeutic approaches.
