Reviewed: Dr. Gromatzky
9. Diagnosis
Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a very rare condition. This means that many doctors will not recognize it so it will be misdiagnosed. Sadly, this only makes it more likely that the condition will be fatal. Many doctors who are unsure will choose to investigate further to determine what the problem is.
In many cases, a CT scan or MRI may be performed to get a better look at the area. The doctor might also request blood work to see if there is an infection present, and what type. If Cavernous sinus thrombosis is suspected then the doctor might also request a check for meningitis.
