ABSTRACT

Cerebral venous thrombosis (CVT) frequently goes unnoticed in individuals with acute or slow-progressing neurological deficits. It was first discovered through autopsy more than a century ago, and as a result, it was always considered to be lethal. In contrast to arterial thrombosis, cardiovascular thrombosis (CVT) is less common, but if left untreated, it can have disastrous consequences or even be deadly. The primary goal of this review research is to determine how much the public is aware of cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST). From June 2020 to November 2020, the Lahore Medical and Dental College carried out this study. Google Scholar, PubMed, and the Web of Science were used to acquire the information. All the information was gathered to learn more about how CST manifests in patients. The data was gathered and fully analysed possible. Chemosis, proptosis, and severe ophthalmoplegia are all hallmarks of classic acute instances of cavernous sinus thrombosis. These symptoms might be unilateral at first but can progressively become bilateral. It has been established that early detection of CST necessitates the careful speculation of an experienced and goal-oriented clinical practitioner.
