Abstract

Currently mastoidectomy without thrombus evacuation is a therapeutic alternative. A new conservative medical therapeutic approach based on antibiotic therapy without mastoidectomy as a therapeutic alternative. Through a clinical case treated conservatively without mastoidectomy, we report an observation of the TPSL and review the literature. Patient 16-year-old patient admitted for otorrhea due to acute otitis media where we diagnosed lateral sinus thrombophlebitis. We opted for medical treatment without mastoidectomy. The treatment did the effect without detectable complication. Management of thrombophlebitis cases of the lateral sinus requires an evaluation of the clinical and Para clinical parameters of the patient to propose a therapeutic alternative.
