“…Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a very rare, life-threatening condition. Typically, it is caused by an infection that has spread beyond the face, sinuses, teeth, pharynx, ears, or eyes, or have post-traumatic origin [ 30 , 31 , 32 ]. The course of the disease, blood rheology, and prevention of microcirculatory disorders is important in such patients because the continuation of the process in many cases, delays the sequestration and ineffectiveness of conservative treatment depend on general and local circulatory disorders, thrombosis, and other metabolic changes in patients.…”

COVID-19 is currently causing a pandemic around the world. With the increase in the number of patients, there was a slight increase in the incidence of various complications. In particular, infectious and inflammatory diseases of the face and jaw are observed in patients with COVID-19 in the early infectious stages of the disease, as well as in the late stages. In the previous literature, as a sign or complication of COVID-19 were mentioned cases of changes in the oral cavity - ulcers, rashes, and inflammation of salivary glands. The conditions presented in this article are a serious complication of COVID-19, radically different from the usual course of osteomyelitis, in which the patient has a course with a predominance of long-term, chronic-progressive, atrophic processes. Treatment was somewhat ineffective due to local chronic inflammation (pansinusitis), metabolic, microcirculatory, immune, and coagulation disorders in patients.

“…Los pacientes con algún grado de inmunosupresión como diabetes mellitus no controlada, uso de esteroides, cáncer o quimioterapia aumentan el riesgo de desarrollo de complicaciones. El diagnóstico suele ser clínico; sin embargo, la obtención de imágenes con tomografía axial computarizada (TAC) o resonancia magnética (RM) es esencial para demostrar la trombosis, extensión de la enfermedad y descartar complicaciones asociadas (9). Dentro de los estudios de imagen utilizados, el TAC de alta resolución con contraste o la RM con gadolinio demuestran fácilmente la trombosis de la vena cavernosa.…”

La trombosis séptica del seno cavernoso es una enfermedad rara que se presenta como una tromboflebitis en el seno cavernoso como complicación posterior a infecciones faciales, principalmente en la zona denominada zona de peligro ( tercio medio de la cara , alrededor de ojos y nariz ) zona que drena en la venas oftálmicas; además ,rinosinusitis (especialmente esfenoiditis y etmoiditis, celulitis, abscesos ,otitis media, , faringitis y con menos frecuencia infecciones dentales(1). Se puede presentar como un cuadro agudo que puede ser dramático y potencialmente mortal sin embargo en raras ocasiones se presenta como un cuadro subagudo o crónico. Su elevada morbimortalidad amerita que se realice un diagnóstico rápido y certero que evite secuelas graves. Se presenta el caso de un hombre que acude al servicio de emergencias con cuadro agudo de fiebre, eritema, dolor a nivel nasal y salida de secreción purulenta posterior a trauma punzante que posteriormente se diagnostica una trombosis séptica bilateral de senos cavernosos secundaria a una celulitis facial.

Spectrum of intracranial complications of rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis — resurgence in the era of COVID-19 pandemic: a pictorial essay

et al. 2021

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Rhino-orbito-cerebral mucormycosis (ROCM) has regained significance following its resurgence in the second wave of the COVID-19 pandemic in India. Rapid and progressive intracranial spread occurs either by direct extension across the neural foraminae, cribriform plate/ethmoid, walls of sinuses, or angioinvasion. Having known to have a high mortality rate, especially with intracranial extension of disease, it becomes imperative to familiarise oneself with its imaging features. MRI is the imaging modality of choice. This pictorial essay aims to depict and detail the various intracranial complications of mucormycosis and to serve as a broad checklist of structures and pathologies that must be looked for in a known or suspected case of ROCM.
