Abstract
We report a case of septic right superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis complicated by left sphenoid sinusitis with methicillin-sensitive Staphylococcus aureus (MSSA). Early recognition by clinical symptoms, and computed tonography (CT) and magnetic resolution image (MRI) of the head and sinus is needed for prompt surgical drainage of the sinus and appropriate antimicrobial therapy. The use of steroids and anticoagulation for this condition is still debated.
