Trombosi venosa cerebrale associata a otomastoidite con segni di ipertensione endocranica

Cerebral venous thrombosis, Otomastoiditis, Diplopia, Papilledema, Endocranial hypertension, Anticoagulant therapy Venous thrombosis of the cerebral sinuses can complicate acute otitis media (AOM) due to the close anatomical relationship between these structures. This condition presents a diag-nostic challenge for clinicians, as it often manifests with nonspecific symptoms like head-aches and carries the risk of quickly developing into intracranial hypertension. The paper presents the case of a 10-year-old child with a history of AOM who developed headache, later diagnosed as otomastoiditis complicated by thrombosis of the sigmoid sinus and jugu-lar-sigmoid junction. The patient required surgical intervention, along with antibiotic and anticoagulant therapy, leading to a full resolution of the thrombosi
