Cavernous sinus thrombosis

Blood Vessels & Circulation

Head & Neck

Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a blood clot in the cavernous sinus, a cavity at the base of the brain that drains blood from the face and brain. It can develop from infections in the head and face. An MRI may show changes in this region consistent with a clot. Finding cavernous sinus thrombosis early may allow for prompt anticoagulation and antibiotic treatment before serious neurological complications develop.

SCReening explained

It’s important to understand that OneMRI's full-body scan is a general proactive health scan developed to include areas where preventative screening delivers the most meaningful insight in a way that is safe and non-invasive. The scan should be used to compliment other routine scans and screening. It should not replace standard screening protocols or targeted procedures as recommended by your doctor, specialist or health provider. Examples of these include mammogram, prostate examination, cervical screening, colonoscopy, and lung cancer screening.
