Navigating the Complication: Acute Mastoiditis Causing Cerebral Venous Thrombosis in an Adult.

Acute mastoiditis is an infection of the air cells in the mastoid and is primarily seen in the pediatric population. This disease usually occurs after patients develop otitis media, which can result in acute mastoiditis as a complication. Most patients usually present with generalized symptoms of an infection; however, in some instances, cerebral venous thrombosis can occur.
