Abstract
Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a life-threatening condition resulting from a blockage of the cavernous sinus by a blood clot. This pathology occurs extremely rarely but is a danger to life at any age. Information about deaths from cavernous sinus thrombosis is limited and unclear in the special forensic medical literature.
This study analyzed the results of the forensic medical examination of the corpse of a 35-year-old woman. This work outlines all stages of treatment and observation of the patient. Disease development and progression, which eventually led to a fatal outcome, were described in stages.
The research and results were able to confirm the cause of death. Cavernous sinus thrombosis and other cerebral sinus thrombosis, as a complication of the main, timely undiagnosed, and untreated disease, is a significant problem even in modern multidisciplinary medical institutions and often causes deaths in clinical practice.
