“…17 Orbital color Doppler imaging also allows noninvasive confirmation of SOVT. 28 In our case we have done MRI of brain with contrast with MRV which revealed thickened bilateral SOV with irregular border.…”

“…Here a filling defect can be seen within the SOV itself, or a thin lining can be present close to the vessel wall, either due to vessel wall enhancement or a small lumen in between the clot and the vessel wall. 27,28 In case of a chronic SOV thrombosis, the central thrombus can also show enhancement opposite to the acute stage. MRI shows enhancement of intraorbital fat and swelling and enhancement of the eye musculature due to venous congestion.…”

Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis (CVST) is a rare stroke-like syndrome. Sometimes it may be rarely associated with ophthalmic vein occlusion. We present a 10-year-old girl who had severe headache, diplopia, severe congestion of eye, proptosis and orbital pain. She had no signs of meninigeal irritation, no focal deficit except left sided lateral rectus palsy and altered visual acuity. Investigations regarding vasculitis and thrombophillia were normal except thrombocytosis. MRI of brain showed ‘dense triangle sign’ and thickened superior ophthalmic vein. Magnetic resonance venography (MRV) showed occlusion of superior sagital sinus and transverse sinus. She was treated with paracetamol, acetazolamide, rivaroxaban and antibiotics followed by high dose pulse methyl prednisolone. She made a partial recovery within one week and at 3 months follow-up she was completely normal. J Enam Med Col 2019; 9(2): 127-132

“…SOVT is an extremely rare entity resulting from orbital congestion, such as that caused by infectious diseases, cavernous sinus thrombosis, skull base tumors, arteriovenous malformations, after facial trauma and in a patient with hypercoagulability. [ 1 2 3 6 7 ] It has been reported to occur in a wide range of diseases, as summarized in Table 1 .…”

“…SOVT can have various causes such as an orbital infection, tumors, traumatic or spontaneous carotid cavernous fistulas or vascular and coagulation anomalies. [ 1 2 3 4 ] We report an unusual case of SOVT due to hyperviscosity syndrome, as the first manifestation of multiple myeloma. SOVT can be detected with contrast-enhanced computed tomography (CT) or a magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).…”

Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis is a rare entity. It is associated with significant morbidities. It may present with dramatic clinical signs. It is frequently secondary to cavernous sinus pathology and it can be a harbinger of cavernous sinus thrombosis. We report an unusual case of superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis, as the first manifestation of multiple myeloma. As far as we know, this is the first case described in the literature. Here we describe a patient presented with a painful, visual blur and a right-sided proptosis due to superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis. Appropriate medical workup was conducted, and smoldering multiple myeloma was diagnosed as the underlying cause. We further discuss the possible involved mechanisms.

“…Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis (SOVT) is commonly associated with orbital inflammation and congestion such as orbital cellulitis, idiopathic orbital inflammation, vascular malformations, thyroid-related orbitopathy, trauma and orbital tumors [1][2][3]. The clinical signs may resemble those of orbital conditions such as proptosis, ophthalmoplegia and loss of visual function.…”

We report a case of a 71 year old female who presented with redness, pain and periocular swelling in the left eye of 3 months duration and decreased vision and protrusion since 15 days. Previous ophthalmological history was unremarkable. The vision was PL negative. Examination showed moderate axial proptosis, mild ptosis, fullness of the eyelids, and a chemosed, prolapsed conjunctiva. Fundus examination showed a branch vein occlusion of the inferotemporal vein. There was total ophthalmoplegia OS. A provisional diagnosis of pseudotumour was made after basic investigations, and steroid therapy was initiated, but the patient showed little response. CT orbit showed left eye proptosis with minimal fat stranding and superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis which was confirmed by MRI. She also had an intracranial infarct which was picked up on MRI. Due to multiple vaso occlusive sites, and the lack of response to steroid therapy, she was referred for a haematological work up. Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis, although rare, can be a harbinger of cavernous sinus thrombosis, hence the need for an urgent and detailed evaluation of orbital thrombosis.
