Patients and Methods:
We conducted a retrospective study on 10 patients with otogenic cerebral
thrombophlebitis diagnosed and treated in patients admitted in the ENT
Department of Farhat Hached Hospital over a period of the period of 25
years (1995 to 2020). Our series included 10 patients; they were 8men
and 2 women with a sex ratio (M/F) = 4. The mean age was 35 years
(11year old- 77years old). Neurologic signs (headache) were present in 5
patients and fever was noted in 3 other patients. All patients were
assessed by cerebral CT scan, 3 among them benefits from a cerebral MRI
also. The diagnosis was confirmed by radiographic examination in all
cases. 90% of patients were anticoagulated.
