[Vein graft for thrombophlebitis of the lateral sinus following mastoiditis in a 14-year-old boy (author's transl)].

A boy 14 years is described who had partial agenesis of the right lateral sinus. Following thrombophlebitis of the left lateral sinus secondary to mastoiditis he developed progressive visual impairment due to papilledema. This was cured by vein graft between the right lateral sinus and the right external jugular vein.
