Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis
Prognosis for Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis
Even with antibiotic treatment, cavernous sinus thrombosis can still be life threatening. About 15 to 20% of all affected people die. Another 40% develop serious aftereffects such as impaired eye movements and double vision, blindness, stroke, and symptoms due to decreased levels of hormones from the pituitary gland ( Hypopituitarism ), which may be permanent.
