“…When the accumulated material is infectious and perhaps purulent, for example in the setting of infectious acute otitis media, there may be bony destruction involving the mastoid septations and/or overlying cortex associated with the mastoid opacities, termed coalescent mastoiditis (Fig. 8a, b) [8,9]. If there is erosion of the lateral cortex, a subperiosteal abscess may develop in the postauricular region, which manifests clinically as a ballotable mass.…”

CT and MR imaging are essential cross-sectional imaging modalities for assessment of temporal bone anatomy and pathology. The choice of CT versus MR depends on the structures and the disease processes that require assessment, delineation, and characterization. A thorough knowledge of the two imaging modalities' capabilities and of temporal bone anatomy greatly facilitates imaging interpretation of pathologic conditions.

“…[ 79 ] In patients with septic, lateral sinus thrombosis can be found erosion in the middle ear structures and changes in the mastoid region. [ 83 ] Early changes are often subtle, with brain edema and swelling of the gyri. [ 79 ] Bilateral parasagittal hemispheric lesions are suggestive of SSS thrombosis;[ 79 ] when the transverse sinus is compromised, ipsilateral temporo-occipital and cerebellar lobe lesions, hydrocephalus and compression of the fourth ventricle can be present.…”

Cerebral sinus venous thrombosis (CSVT) is a rare phenomenon that can be seen with some frequency in young patients. CSVT is a multifactorial condition with gender-related specific causes, with a wide clinical presentation, the leading causes differ between developed and developing countries, converting CSVT in a condition characterized by a highly variable clinical spectra, difficult diagnosis, variable etiologies and prognosis that requires fine medical skills and a high suspicious index. Patients who presents with CSVT should underwent to CT-scan venography (CVT) and to the proper inquiry of the generating cause. This disease can affect the cerebral venous drainage and related anatomical structure. The symptoms may appear in relation to increased intracranial pressure imitating a pseudotumorcerebri. Prognosis depends on the early detection. Correcting the cause, generally the complications can be prevented. Mortality trends have diminished, and with the new technologies, surely it will continue. This work aims to review current knowledge about CSVT including its pathogenesis, etiology, clinical manifestations, diagnosis, and treatment.
