Anticoagulation for cavernous sinus thrombosis: a systematic review and individual patient data meta-analysis.

Purpose: Septic cavernous sinus thrombosis (SCST) is a rare but life-threatening condition with high mortality and morbidity. The role of anticoagulation in the treatment of SCST remains unclear because there is limited evidence to support this treatment. This study aims to explore (1) the association between anticoagulation administration and mortality of cavernous sinus thrombosis from sinusitis, and (2) the types and duration of anticoagulation used.
