ABSTRACT
Herein, we would like to discuss cerebral venous sinus
thrombosis with facial nerve involvement. A literature search was performed in
Medline using a set of terms that included cerebral venous sinus thrombosis,
venous sinus thrombosis, and facial. There are only a few cases of isolated
unilateral facial nerve palsy due to sinus thrombosis. To the authors'
knowledge, only three case reports were already published.
Keywords: Cerebral venous sinus
thrombosis, sinus thrombosis, cranial nerve palsy, facial paralysis, cranial
neuropathies
