The Right

✓ The clinical course of three patients who had combined sagittal and lateral sinus dural fistulae is described. One patient, with impending blindness and a short life span, underwent right lateral sinus thrombosis in one stage. The second patient underwent sagittal and right lateral sinus thrombosis in four stages, and her remaining lateral sinus spontaneously occluded. A small untreated fistula persists in the right lower sigmoid. The third patient underwent sagittal sinus, left lateral sinus, and left parietal sinus thrombosis in six stages. A small untreated far-anterior fistula persists. All “satellite” fistulae have spontaneously disappeared. The small asymptomatic untreated residual fistulae have no demonstrable retrograde venous drainage and, therefore, require no treatment at this time.

Cerebrospinal Fluid Absorption

ABSTRACTTransverse (lateral) sinus thrombosis is a well-known complication of acute otitis media and mastoiditis in the pediatric and adult population. Thrombosis involving the transverse sinus can ultimately cause elevation of intracranial pressure (ICP) as a result of decreased cerebrospinal fluid absorption. If treatment to lower ICP is not undertaken, it can lead to ophthalmological complications including irreversible vision loss. The following case report describes an 11-year-old girl who was diagnosed with AOM by her pediatrician and subsequently presented to the emergency department complaining of nausea, vomiting, headache, and diplopia.
