Cerebral venous sinus thrombosis is a rare life-threatening condition with an incidence of about 0.67 per 1,00,000 children per year. The mortality rate in CST is very high (20 to 34%) and survivors have increased risk of developing permanent deficit including blindness, nerve palsy, coma etc. Anticoagulant therapy is an important part of treatment along with antibiotics, steroid and surgical therapy. A 15years male child presented with cellulitis of face, bilateral proptosis, fever and headache of 1week duration was diagnosed as septic cavernous sinus thrombosis following Staphylococcus aureus infection involving the danger area of face. He had an excellent response to treatment with intravenous antibiotics with third generation cephalosporin, vancomycin and metronidazole, and unfractionated heparin anticoagulation followed by oral warfarrin.
