Introduction Cavernous sinus thrombosis is a rare pathology. It usually follows locoregional infections or can also occur after facial surgery. Aneurysms of the cavernous segment of the internal carotid artery can be one of the complications of this condition which is a severe pathology that can be life-threatening. Case presentation Here is the case of a 32-year-old woman who has been maintained on oral contraceptive pills. She sought medical advice for an unusual headache that has been started three months after labor. Headaches were associated with paralysis of the left cranial nerve III related to partial cerebral venous thrombosis of the cavernous sinus on the ipsilateral side. The evolution of the condition while receiving oral anticoagulation drugs, was marked two weeks later by sudden onset, of motor deficit of the right side of the body associated with secondary generalized focal motor seizures. The etiology of this new symptomatology is the rupture of an aneurysm of the left Internal Carotid, causing a subarachnoid hemorrhage. Conclusion The cavernous sinus thrombosis complicates by an aneurysm of the Internal carotid artery is a rare association of pathology with severe prognostic. This report discusses the diagnostic approach, management, and prognosis of Cavernous Sinus Thrombosis.
