Abstract

Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a rare and often fatal condition, usually associated with infections in the head and neck region. Clinical presentation includes fever, headache, and periorbital swelling. Mortality can be high; however, prompt treatment can reduce the probability of death. We present a case of a cavernous sinus thrombosis associated with methamphetamine injection into the face.
