Warning Signs Of Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis

Severe Headache

When symptoms first begin due to cavernous sinus thrombosis, a severe headache is perhaps the most common symptom noted. In fact, it can take several days or more than a week before more symptoms of cavernous sinus thrombosis develop. This severe headache may also spread to other areas of the face. The intense pain is often felt in and around the eyes, especially behind the eyes where the cavernous sinus is located. The pain felt with these headaches is often described as being sharp and growing progressively worse as the problem continues. If a fever develops, this can make the headache even worse.
