The article focuses on cavernous sinus thrombosis (CST) and its complications, specifically septic CST arising from infections of the paranasal sinuses and the hypercoagulable state observed in some COVID-19 patients, with a case report of a 15-year-old boy who developed bilateral CST in the context of facial cellulitis and COVID-19 infection.
