Sigmoid sinus thrombosis (SST) is a potentially life-threatening complication of otitis media which is nowadays rare due to the widespread use of antibiotics. A high index of suspicion is necessary to allow for a timely diagnostic and therapeutic intervention. Intravenous wide-spectrum antibiotics and a cortical mastoidectomy are the mainstay of treatment. There is no consensus regarding the necessity of anticoagulants in pediatric patients. We present a 6-year-old boy who presented with an SST as a result of acute otitis media.
乙状窦血栓形成(SST)是中耳炎的一种潜在危及生命的并发症,由于抗生素的广泛应用,现在已经很少见了。为了进行及时的诊断和治疗干预,需要高度怀疑该病的可能性。静脉内使用广谱抗生素和皮质乳突切除术是主要的治疗方法。对于儿科患者是否需要使用抗凝剂,目前尚无共识。我们报告了一例 6 岁男孩,因急性中耳炎导致 SST。
