Abstract
- We report a case of Internal Jugular Vein Thrombosis with a long segment thrombus in a clinical setting of attico antral type of Chronic Suppurative Otitis Media (CSOM) in a 20 year male. He presented with hectic rise of temperature with chills & rigor of 7 days duration associated with left ear discharge & throbbing headache of 10 days duration. ENT examination revealed attico antral type of Chronic suppurative Otitis Media with sinus thrombophlebitis. Further investigations revealed a mural thrombus extending from the lower part of Internal Jugular Vein (IJV) till the Torcula Herophili. Left Modified radical mastoidectomy with exposure of transverse & sigmoid sinus was done to completely eradicate the disease and source of infection. The patient was treated with oral anticoagulants and parenteral antibiotics based on the sensitivity report and became asymptomatic after 8 weeks. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
