The septic type as described by Grove2 is that in which the thrombosis reaches the cavernous sinus by way of its afferent vessels. With the advent of the sulfonamides six other instances of recovery have been recorded.3, 4, 5, 6 Recently Nicholson and Anderson7 reported another case successfully treated by penicillin.The case to be reported is of interest not only because of the recovery, but because it was successfully treated by a combination of sulfonamides and...Bibliography1.
