Cavernous sinus syndrome (CSS) is a condition characterized by multiple cranial nerve palsies manifesting with ophthalmoplegia, ptosis, and facial sensory loss due to involvement of adjacent cranial nerves. Tumors, trauma, and vascular, infectious, and noninfectious inflammatory disorders have all been described as causes. Lymphomas have been reported to involve the cavernous sinus, both as primary cavernous sinus lymphomas or as secondary lesions. Here, we describe the case of a 63-year-old-man with untreated chronic lymphocytic leukemia (CLL), diagnosed 4 years earlier, who presented with CSS. Our patient underwent standard chemotherapy, but he succumbed to infection during the neutropenic period.
海绵窦综合征（CSS）是一种以多组颅神经麻痹为特征的疾病，表现为眼肌麻痹、上睑下垂和面部感觉丧失，这是由于相邻颅神经受累所致。肿瘤、创伤以及血管性、感染性和非感染性炎症性疾病均被描述为病因。据报道，淋巴瘤可累及海绵窦，包括原发性海绵窦淋巴瘤或继发性病变。在此，我们描述一例63岁男性患者，他4年前被诊断为未经治疗的慢性淋巴细胞白血病（CLL），现出现海绵窦综合征。我们的患者接受了标准化化疗，但在中性粒细胞减少期死于感染。
