@johnhongkim: Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis (CST) A rare but life-threatening condition where a blood clot forms in the cavernous sinus, a vein at the base of the brain that drains blood from the face. 🧠 Causes: Usually a complication of facial or sinus infections (especially around the eyes or nose). ⚠️ Symptoms: • Severe headache • Swelling/redness around one or both eyes • Eye pain or double vision • Fever, confusion, or vision loss 🚨 Why it matters: Infection can quickly spread to the brain. making CST a true medical emergency. Treatment: immediate transfer to ER for CT/MRI and Prompt IV antibiotics Urgent ophthalmology and neurology consults 👉 Bottom line: Never ignore a worsening eye infection or severe headache after a sinus infection. Delay in diagnosis can lead to blindness or death. #cavernoussinusthrombosis #medicalemergency #nurse #nursepractitioner #health

i had all of this! my symptoms were ignored. I was diagnosed with sinus infection then migraines until I went blind and went to a larger hospital and they found i had a clot in my brain. i spent 3 weeks in the Neuro icu 4 brain surgeries 2 to place a shunt to relieve the pressure And 2 to attempt to remove the clot. I now live with a shunt for life and I am a lifer on blood thinners. so thankful the Drs at university hospital that paid close attention to my symptoms and took action quickly to save me !

I suffered a year with pain behind my eye and sinus. Eventually I was referred to a specialist who said no it’s not sinus related I insisted to have a scan.. week later in hospital having them drained as the infection was so close to my brain

He listed everything i experienced I had a fungus infection behind my right eye. Nasal polyps were blocking my airway and everything in my sinuses were just sitting there not being flushed the bacteria continued to grow. Life threatening for sure the MRI was insane. They did emergency surgery and removed everything. Almost lost my vision too. Take your allergies seriously!
