The cavernous sinus is complex, making it a difficult region for dental students to conceptualize and physicians to diagnose. This animation clarifies the spatial relationships between the cavernous sinus and its contents, demonstrates common routes of infection, and explains the common signs and symptoms associated with cavernous sinus thrombosis. The goal is for dental students to gain a better understanding of the potential role the cavernous sinus plays in the health of the patient, which should result in earlier detection and more effective treatment of cavernous sinus thrombosis.
