Abstract

Lateral sinus thrombophlebitis (LST) is a rarely seen intracranial complication of chronic otitis media. Even single case report may guide in this entity given the lack of larger series. In the present manuscript, we will discuss removal of infected thrombus localized in transverse sinus via Foley catheter in a 46-years old man with sickle cell anemia underwent surgery due to LST.
