description INTRODUCTION AND IMPORTANCE: Superior ophthalmic vein thrombosis (SOVT) is a very rare condition that can occur following either septic or aspetic causes. Early recognition and management is important in order to avoid vision-threatening and fatal complications. CASE PRESENTATION: A 28-year-old man presented with orbital cellulitis complicating acute pansinusitis. CT scan revealed ipsilateral SOVT. The patient received intravenous antibiotics and anticoagulation with strict ophthalmic monitoring. No orbital complications were recorded during the course of treatment. CLINICAL DISCUSSION: SOVT is caused either by septic or aseptic causes. Treatment depends on the etiology. Corticosteroids and anticoagulants are controversial. CONCLUSION: Early diagnosis is key to successful management of SOVT.
