Key Points

Investigate the rare occurrence of chronic cavernous sinus thrombosis presenting years after the initial insult, focusing on its implications for diagnosis.
Case report detailing clinical presentation and neurological assessment.
Assessment of symptom development over time in the context of prior thrombosis.
Symptomatic isolated abducens nerve palsy observed years after initial chronic cavernous sinus thrombosis.
Prompted consideration of delayed clinical presentation in similar cases.

Implication

Case report reveals delayed symptoms of cavernous sinus thrombosis years after initial event, suggesting unique clinical implications.

Abstract

To report a unique possibility of chronic cavernous sinus thrombosis becoming symptomatic years after the original insult, which is unusual as cavernous sinus thrombosis typically presents acutely with symptoms.
