Cerebral venous sinus occlusion is an exceptional presentation in the emergency department. Otitis and mastoiditis are rarely associated with cerebral venous sinus occlusion. It is considered as a redoubtable complication with potentially severe outcomes. Symptoms that may indicate this thrombosis are variable and include progressive headache, intracranial hypertension, seizures, focal neurological deficits, and ophthalmologic symptoms. In this article, we report a case of a young female patient presenting with otitis and mastoiditis complicated with intracranial thrombosis. She was successfully treated with antibiotics, anticoagulants, and analgesics. Furthermore, we provide a brief review on cerebral venous sinus thrombosis with a focus on its risk factors and its management. Finally, we emphasize the need for better awareness about this potential intracranial complication.
