Presentation
The Late presenting group experienced acute otitis media several weeks prior to presentation and in this group neurologic symptoms dominated the clinical picture at admission. All patients received antibiotics. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Respiratoric
- Aspiration
Because pus was not aspirated via punctures of the other two cases, their sinuses were not explored. Only radical mastoidectomy was performed surgically for these cases. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Workup
All children underwent laboratory workup for hypercoagulability. All the five children were found to be heterozygote for the C677T MTHFR mutation and a child presented also heterozygosity for factor V Leiden mutation. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]

Symptoms and signs, presence or absence of papilledema, modes of onset, neuroimaging findings, causes and risk factors, including a thrombophilic workup, and outcome at discharge and at 1 year were systematically recorded. [stroke.ahajournals.org]
Treatment
Intracranial complications in children resulted from unsuccessful treatment of AOM, which led to acute mastoiditis and lateral sinus thrombosis. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Prognosis
The prognosis of LST is good if treatment is instituted early with broad-spectrum intravenous antibiotics and surgery. The role of clot removal at surgery and the use of anticoagulation are discussed in this paper. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Complications include seizures, hydrocephalus, intracranial hypertension and neurological deterioration. [ 10 ] Prognosis Long-term follow-up suggests a generally good prognosis but there may be residual pyramidal symptoms, epilepsy, visual field defects [patient.info]

Etiology
Clinical, etiologic, and prognostic features were compared with those of other 133 CVT cases. RESULT: Sixty-two patients (32%) had isolated lateral sinus thrombosis. Headaches were present in 95% of patients. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Etiology :1. Associated lateral sinus thrombosis obstruction of cerebral venous return. 2. Superior sagittal sinus thrombosis ed C.S.F. absorption Both of these factors result in raised ICP 16. Clinical features • Symptoms 1. [slideshare.net]
Etiologic investigation lead to the diagnosis of left lateral sinus thrombosis. Anticoagulation was started with heparin followed by dicumarinics. This treatment was maintained during eight months. [actamedicaportuguesa.com]

Epidemiology Frequency Lateral sinus thrombosis accounts for 6% of all intracranial complications in the era of antibiotic treatment of suppurative ear disease. [emedicine.medscape.com]
Please refer to the article on cerebral venous thrombosis for a broad discussion on epidemiology and risk factors. Presentation is variable and can range from asymptomatic to coma and death. [radiopaedia.org]
Epidemiology Intracranial venous thrombosis appears to have become more common in recent years. However, this has occurred as modern imaging techniques have improved diagnosis. [patient.info]
Pathophysiology
To describe a case of lateral sinus insufficiency, presumably occurring just prior to lateral sinus thrombosis (LST), and to discuss the importance of early surgical intervention and the pathophysiology of full-blown LST. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
Further inflammation of outer and inner walls of sinus results in the formation of mural thrombosis. [3] In our case, the pathophysiology was osteothrombophlebitis of small venules as evident from radiology of temporal bone (HRCT temporal bone). [indianjotol.org]

Prevention
Anticoagulation has been advocated to prevent extension of the thrombus to distal sinuses(27,28). However, it is rarely used now as most infections can be controlled with antibiotics and surgery, and this tends to prevent thrombus propagating. [arquivosdeorl.org.br]
Anticoagulants have been advocated to prevent extension of the thrombus to the distal sinuses. [emedicine.medscape.com]
This prevents blood from draining out of the brain. As a result, blood cells may break and leak blood into the brain tissues, forming a hemorrhage. This chain of events is part of a stroke that can occur in adults and children. [hopkinsmedicine.org]
Recently, anti-coagulant treatment has been proposed to prevent complications associated with thrombus persistence or its possible propagation 11. [ncbi.nlm.nih.gov]
