We present two clinical cases of invasive infections in pediatric patients: a liver abscess case and a pansinusitis case associated with bilateral otomastoiditis and parapharyngeal abscess complicated by acute mediastinitis, thrombophlebitis of the cavernous sinus, and thrombosis of the cranial tract of the ipsilateral jugular vein.

The infection takes place in the throat and spreads through septic thrombosis of the tonsillar and internal jugular veins. The resulting bacterial infection is complicated by septic emboli in several places such as the lungs, joints and bones.

Cerebellar abscess is a reported complication of chronic suppurative otitis media (CSOM) and is life threatening at times. It usually develops by direct spread of CSOM through the bony erosion in the petrous bone or by thrombophlebitis of the sigmoid sinus. However, an alternative pathway of infection transmission from the petrous bone to the cerebellum through the anatomical bridge of the cranial nerves has possibly not been described before.

- The patient presented with worsening upper respiratory symptoms, facial swelling, and was diagnosed with sinusitis and external jugular vein thrombosis after imaging was conducted.
- The treatment included IV antibiotics and anticoagulation, leading to improvement, and follow-up showed no recurrence of EJT, highlighting the importance of recognizing EJT symptoms in conjunction with respiratory infections.
