What's The Definition Of The Medical Condition Lateral Sinus Thrombophlebitis?
Infectious or noninfectious thrombosis of the lateral sinus of the brain. Septic thrombosis may be associated with OTITIS MEDIA or MASTOIDITIS. CRANIOCEREBRAL TRAUMA; BRAIN NEOPLASMS; NEUROSURGICAL PROCEDURES; THROMBOPHILIA; and other conditions may result in non-septic thrombosis. Clinical manifestations include headache, vertigo, and increased intracranial pressure. Extension of the thrombus into adjacent venous structures may result in INTRACRANIAL HEMORRHAGES or SEIZURES.
